Let The Good Times

Book Recommendation

Do you ever find yourself blurting out “yes” to a request when you really want to say “no?”

Many of us have been conditioned to people-please, going beyond giving of ourselves to the point of giving up ourselves. This leads to exhaustion, anger, and some really ugly resentment. It doesn’t have to be this way!

In You Had Me At No: How Setting Healthy Boundaries Helps Banish Burnout, Repair Relationships, and Save Your Sanity, author Sheryl Green makes a strong case for knowing (and communicating) your limits in both your personal and professional lives. “Having healthy boundaries doesn’t mean shutting out the world or being a selfish, self-centered jerk who doesn’t think about anyone besides him or herself,” says Green. “Boundaries are a tool to restore (and maintain) balance in your life.

At 288 pages, You Had Me At No is filled with humor, research, real-life stories, and advice from someone who has been in your shoes. By the end of this book, you’ll understand why you are angry, resentful, and exhausted, and you’ll have the tools to kick those feelings to the curb. It’s time to take your life back!

As a passionate animal advocate, Sheryl donates a portion of all books sold to local animal rescues, including the Vegas Pet Rescue Project and Vegas Cat Rescue. Visit www.YouHadMeAtNo.com to purchase the book (available in paperback and digital) and grab your free “How to Say No” cheat sheet.
