The same points are repeated, but it gives me time to apply them to my own situation and think. The book is small, so it's easy to carry around.
Kazuko Ishihara: The sense of refusal
'Want to grab a beer after work?' 'I'm busy right now—could you do this for me?' 'Could you lend me some money?' Relationships are a series of requests, some trivial and sometimes even unfair. If you grant every request, you lose your time and build resentment. But refusing outright feels uncomfortable, and you're afraid the relationship may suffer. You worry you might be in a bind if you need to ask for something someday. Saying no is one of the hardest conversational skills. But if you understand the psychology, you can refuse comfortably while sparing the other person's feelings. Saying no is hard not so much because of the refusal itself, but because of how you express it and what you say. Learn to read the other person's psychology and turn them down gently with a single well-chosen sentence.
