Healthier relationships and personal boundaries are just one word away with this inspirational guide on embracing the power of “no”

Whether in love, work, family, or the world, the need to say no is sometimes imperative. And rather than accepting another transgression or being bullied, learning to set healthy boundaries is essential for our health and well-being. The Need to Say No includes helpful advice on how to say no without fear—and without injury to either party—so that you can set boundaries that lead to healthier relationships.

Many people have to learn the skills to defend themselves from the inappropriate demands of others. Whether dealing with an abusive love partner, an inappropriate boss, a child that demands everything, or a societal condition that needs to stop, we have the power within ourselves to change the outcomes for the better: to be bullish without being bulldozed. The Need to Say No uses the metaphor of a bull to examine the behaviors of bullies and boundary violators, drawing from mythological, historical, and contemporary bull stories to identify ten archetypes of common aggressive personalities and how to deal with them effectively.

Rich with quotes, illustrations, anecdotes, examples, tips, and more, The Need to Say No delivers a profound way to create peace at home, success at work, and real change in the world: by saying “no.”

Cute words of wisdom

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

Easy to read wisdom with a cute metaphor about how bulls behave and how we can learn from it. The metaphor gets a little strained and tired after a while, but the writing is good enough that you can forgive beating it to death.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 10, 2016

I often highly recommend this book, especially to people who make the comment that they are always in meetings that they feel they don’t need to attend. Jill Brooke sheds light on the many forms of “bull-ying” that persist throughout adulthood and she provides thoughtful advice for how to "say no" to these various types of "bulls". Her book is filled with clever quips and there are even some surprising anecdotes of bull trivia in there, which make for a truly interesting read. Highly recommend! You will be amazed by who the biggest “bulls” in your life are.

The Need to Say No is a quick read and very helpful!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 30, 2016

I learned a lot from this book and decided to stand up to my bully boss at work. I got fired, but I stood up for myself, had proof that she was bullying and sued the company for age discrimination and won. I am now writing about my experience because like this book tells you... the bullying doesn't stop unless you stand up to them.

I would recommend this book. It provided basic insight to understanding the individual benefits of saying no in all possible life events. It reads quickly and simply, and could be easily suited for a diverse population. Easily understood.

Jill Brooke's cleverly written book would be helpful for anyone who has ever had the nagging feeling, "I wish I had said 'no' to that." Great for all people pleasers who want to learn to please themselves instead of everyone else.

Avoid this one. I skipped the last 15 minutes it was so painfully contrived. Idea is good, execution did not work.

This is a load of bull to court the authors phrase. Poorly written, it's not clever and not funny. Don't waste your money .
