Set Your Boundaries Your Way: 7 Easy Ways to Say No to Difficult People 
by Stephanie Sterner 

Can’t say no?

You want to say no. You need to say no. But somehow you just can’t seem to do it. Maybe you owe someone. Maybe you’re feeling guilty putting yourself first – after all, don’t good people sacrifice for others? Or you can’t stand to disappoint your parents. How do you say no without feeling guilty – when there are so many “good” reasons to give in?

At some point, we’ve all struggled with how to set boundaries. No one likes conflict. No one wants to hurt or disappoint anyone. And we want to please others. But sometimes we sacrifice too much – and find ourselves feeling angry and resentful.

Dealing with Difficult People

Setting boundaries isn’t easy. In this simple, practical book, Stephanie Sterner reveals seven strategies for handling difficult people. And while many authors are content to fill their books with general advice, Stephanie has packed this guide with concrete examples of how to set boundaries gracefully.

Standing up for yourself can improve even your toughest relationships. That’s why Stephanie clarifies the concepts behind each option. Parroting someone else’s words is not enough; you need to choose the best response for your particular situation. You will finally be able to express your limits simply and clearly – and stick to them when the controlling, manipulation and guilt trips start. And the more you stand up for yourself, the more your self-esteem will soar.

How would it feel …?

Imagine making the choices you really want to make … and feeling comfortable doing so. No more need for the approval or agreement of others. (Of course, you can still consider their input.) No more resenting them for persuading you to do something “against your better judgment.” You’d feel stronger, more confident. And you’d lead a more fulfilling life – because your decisions would be supporting your highest values, not someone else’s.

There are so many books. Why this one?

Many authors tell you what limits to set and how to set them. Some have even created systems: formulas for you to follow whenever you need to say no. But these instructions are based on the authors’ values, not yours. And they don’t provide the understanding you need in order to choose your words – or handle the inevitable objections. With this deeper understanding, you no longer need to give in to pressure. You’ll no longer stand by helplessly, watching others ignore your wants and needs.

This concise guide does what many longer books fail to do. It shows you how you’ve unconsciously handed your power to others – and gives you plenty of ways to reclaim it, one boundary at a time. You will quickly understand the principles behind each approach, what it will accomplish and where it may fall short. You’ll be able to choose for yourself what to say and how to say it. After all, you’re the one who has to live with the consequences of your words. Wouldn’t you rather be empowered to select them yourself?

Stephanie wrote this book because she has lived it. She has personally faced the obstacles to standing up for herself. And she has helped clients to do the same. Because she cannot help everyone individually, she wants you to learn from her experience. She wants to give you a short-cut to the wisdom that comes from years of learning and applying the lessons of life.

Few books offer you so much in such a short space. This is a must-read for anyone who feels guilty or uncomfortable setting appropriate boundaries … even if it’s only sometimes.
