Women's ways of NOing (introduction) -- There's NO place like home for the holidays (saying no to parents) -- Getting to NO you (saying no to dates and mates) -- NOthing personal (saying no to friends) -- Opportunity-NOts (when saying no at work doesn't work for you) -- No-nonsense NOs (saying no at work) -- Saying NO when the president calls (saying no in public service) -- NOblesse oblige (saying no in the community) -- NOt on your life! (saying no to assault and harassment) -- Doctor, NO (saying no to your shrink or doctor) -- NOble intentions (saying no as a caregiver) -- Heavens NO! (saying no to the dead and dying).
Explores the reasons why women often find it difficult to say no to family, mates, friends, employers, colleagues, subordinates, and others, arguing that positive traits such as empathy, sensitivity, and compassion get in the way of refusing requests, and offering advice on how to set limits and say no without losing valued connections.
