Appreciation of the Global WondersDAs the parent of a 7yearold boy, sometimes I feel like “no” is my most frequently said word. But if I look honestly at the big picture of my daily vocabulary, I probably would conclude that it actually contains too much “yes”. Saying yes means opening myself up to new experiences, inviting new or deeper relationships. But too much “yes” leaves any of us feeling anxious, overmitted（過分受約束的）and powerless to set and maintain boundaries in our lives.This had been on my mind when The Book of No: 365 Ways to Say It and Mean It－and Stop PeoplePleasing Forever came across my desk. The new edition of this decadeold book by psychologist Susan Newman is a mustread book for those of us who struggle to say “no” with authenticity, confidence and kindness.Newman calls people who feel forced to say yes all their way through life “peoplepleasers”. The chief symptoms of this condition include associating helping others with your selfrespect, holding expectations that you will care for others and feeling unwilling to state your own needs when a request es your way. For peoplepleasers, “yes is the path of least resistance and the way to avoid damaging your relationship with the asker,” Newman writes.The book offers brief dialogues for hundreds of scenarios in which “no” is the right answer, for reasons ranging from time management to financial pressures to emotional boundaries. Newman considers what came about among friends, at work, within families and in parenting. Reading through the scenarios, I realized they have some things in mon－things that immediately started helping me improve my “no” skills.Do you think this book might be helpful to you? It’s OK if the answer is “no”, but I do highly remend it for your Positive Reading List shelf.32. Why does the author include his own personal experience in Paragraph 1?A. To blame himself. B.
