Got a pain-in-the-ass (relative, coworker, boss, or "friend") who always seems to be bothering you for something at those most awkward times? Are you often taken advantage of because your "Too Nice" for your own good?
Well here's a book for you. This little gem of a book has been written by those people who always kept saying "Yes" instead of "NO!" to those people who irritated them. From their "friends" asking for rides or borrowing things to those pesky tele-marketer twits who keep hassling you for information or buying something.
This book is written to help you get out of dealing with those annoying pests in your life, without feeling guilty about it. You probably have someone you can't say,"NO!" to and they always manage to get under your skin and make you do something that you don't want to, well here's a helping hand to pull you out of that cycle of grief that keeps driving you mad and lets you get a piece of mind without loosing you moral values.
Often times we are confronted with things we'd rather not do from people that know how to push our buttons. Well this book offers time tested solutions to get out of doing those or at least keeps your alternatives open rather than be forced to complete the actions by those people who seem to find a way to get you to do something you'd rather not.
