The Power of a Positive No: How to Say No and Still Get to Yes by William Ury
4.0
“There is a saying that half our problems today come from saying Yes when we should be saying No.”
This self-help book is too long and often too repetitive, but I still like how it stayed true to its premise.
“Yes! No. Yes?” is the best approach in delivering a positive No. Determine your underlying yes that will serve your interests. Underscore your no to assert your power and create boundaries. Further your relationship with a second yes by proposing an alternative that is still aligned with your values and needs.
