The Power of No
The Power of No is a lively, practical guide that helps you take back power and shows that a well-placed No can not only save you time and trouble, but it can also save your life. With this book, you will have a stronger sense of what is good for you and the people around you, and you will have a deeper understanding of who you are. And, ultimately, you’ll be freed to say a truly powerful Yes in your life—one that opens the door to opportunities, abundance, and love.
Praise for The Power of No
“Every ‘no’ makes space for the perfect ‘yes.’ It’s impossible to thrive in an overcommitted world. And yet it’s so easy to get caught up—to drain our energy bank account, leaving us mentally, physically, and spiritually bankrupt. Your freedom may be closer than you think. The Power of No by James and Claudia Altucher is an invitation to a universe of meaningful opportunities on the other side of ‘no.’ I’m so grateful for this book and I know you will be too.”
— Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Kitchen
“The Power of No takes a fresh approach to become masterful at using ‘no’ to say ‘yes’ to life. Grounded in both practical and spiritual wisdom, James and Claudia take the reader on an unexpected journey that explores a variety of ways we prevent ourselves from being fully present in the here and now. Their book is filled with magic that can change your life if you’re brave enough to follow their lead!”
— Cheryl Richardson, author of The Art of Extreme Self-Care
“I would recommend this book to any member of the human species. It’s bold, empowering, and useful. It gave me the courage to turn down distractions so that I could focus on the important things in life, like endorsing this book.”
— A. J. Jacobs, New York Times best-selling author of Drop Dead Healthy
“James Altucher is scary smart.”
— Stephen Dubner, author of Freakonomics
“What I like about James is you can tell he came from a roller coaster. He chose his own path to success without knowing the outcome. And... one thing is for sure: if you don’t make courageous choices for yourself, nobody else will.”
— Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter
