In 1,001 Excuses!, George Zgourides and Nancy Pickering successfully collaborate to present a compendium of proven techniques, strategies, and methods to prevent the reader from being entrapped into being involved with someone else's agenda, activity or scheme against the reader's own will and best interests. Of particular value is the introductory chapter clearly explaining why non-assertive, overly nice, easily manipulated people do not have to be exploited for someone else's pleasure or purpose. 1,001 Excuses! out to be prominently available in every community library self-help collection in the country, and is "must" reading for anyone no longer willing to feel like other people's "doormat".

This book has changed my life for the better, however it was not easy. This book is about how to get manipulators out of your life and start living your own. After reading this book me and my wife had to change Churches, (we were #1 on the churches volunteer list) my wife had to change her job and I had to change my business practices. This has resulted in several law suits (Some in my favor). If there are manipulators in your life and they have been manipulating you for years, the manipulators will not let go of you so easily after all you are there free meal ticket. The good side is we were able to move from a small 3 bedroom apartment to a 2700 square foot home just 6 weeks after reading the book. Me and my wife have doubled are income as a result of reading this book. Before my wife was working for a manipulator that was having her work 60 hours a week including the weekends. Now my wife got a new job working on an hourly wage making $5 more an hour, she's still work 60 hours a week except she gets paid time and a half for overtime!!! This is a great book if you want to change you life keep in mind it won't be easy you will possibly have to change friends, change your job, and put restraining orders against some manipulators (some won't take no for an answer.)
