“Those of us in the people-pleasing club probably know by now that we are happier, healthier humans when we protect our energy and learn to say no . . . but many of us have no idea how to actually do that. This book is filled with superpractical and useful scripts to help us navigate those situations where we cringe at the thought of (ahh!) disappointing someone. I will be keeping this book permanently on my desk for daily guidance!” —Mari Andrew, New York Times–bestselling author of Am I There Yet? and My Inner Sky     “People pleasers everywhere will delight in saying no after reading this dazzling debut. With heartfelt illustrations, empathy for the yes-sayers, and examples for all of life’s common conflicts, 100 Ways to Say No offers a stand-alone guide to compassionately (but firmly!) setting boundaries with others and yourself.” —Haley Weaver, creator of @HaleyDrewThis
