Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Drawing on their own stories as well as feedback from their readers and students, James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher clearly show that you have the right to say no to anything that is hurting you.

How many times have you heard yourself saying yes to the wrong things—overwhelming requests, bad relationships, time-consuming obligations? How often have you wished you could summon the power to turn them down? This lively, practical guide helps you take back that power and shows that a well-placed 'No' can not only save you time and trouble, it can save your life.

Drawing on their own stories as well as feedback from their readers and students, James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher clearly show that you have the right to say no to anything that is hurting you, to standards that no longer serve you, to people who drain you of your creativity and expression, to beliefs that are not true to the real you.

When you do, you'll be freed to say a truly powerful 'Yes' in your life—one that opens the door to opportunities, abundance and love.

Filled with magic that can change your life. — Cheryl Richardson, author of The Art of Extreme Self-Care

Your freedom may be closer than you think... 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
