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

The daily practice of Ashtanga Yoga has made me physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy. I am very grateful. When I first started practicing I wished I had a handbook that answered basic questions, encouraged me on how to go about those first classes, guided me on whether to travel to Mysore or not, and answered questions I had. Recently someone who has been attracted to this style of yoga asked me if I could provide such a guide because he said: "it all felt very intimidating from the perspective of a beginner." I completely related. That is how this book was born. It is the book I wish I had back then.
