Description

Over the past three years James Altucher and Claudia Azula Altucher have answered tens of thousands of questions in their writings, retreats, talks, and online seminars. The questions cover the entire spectrum of life, from how to deal with bad relationships, to how to access your innate special uniqueness, to how to pay the rent when you’re crying on the floor, broken and depressed,. Invariably, they look to one little word as the solution: No. No is not only a solution; it is a path for people to heal and bring abundance and happiness into their lives. Every time you say yes to something you don’t want to do you can experience a spate of negative outcomes: resenting people, doing poor quality work, having less energy for the things you actually love, making less money, and so on. But the worst part is that yet another small percentage of your life is used up by something you don’t want. We need the power of no so we can set proper boundaries around the things that hurt us directly. We need it to curb the relationships that drain us of our energy, creativity, and expression, to protect us from those people who put us down, hurt us emotionally, and leave us barren and depressed. And in the larger picture, we need the power of no to understand what we truly believe in, rather than the stories we take at face value because we’ve been conditioned to think them as the truth. With the power of no we can refocus our energies toward living an abundant, healthy, and wealthy life. We can realize that there is nothing to prove, there is nobody to impress, there is no cage around us. Such is the power of saying no to our misconceptions. As a species, this is where we find ourselves now and many of us are trying very hard to use the power of no at this higher level. To clearly see what intelligent compassion is. To open our hearts and bring healing to the world. The power of no is a force that allows us to truly surrender to a higher power and be the unique people we were meant to be. And in The Power of No, James and Claudia will help guide you to this place by relating the stories they’ve heard and the things they’ve experienced. Their goal is to bring this little word out into the world to shine its power and its light on all of us.

Advance Praise

“James Altucher is scary smart.”
— Stephen Dubner, author of Freakonomics

“What I like about James is you can tell he came
from a roller coaster. He chose his own path to
success without knowing the outcome. And . . .
one thing is for sure: if you don’t make courageous
choices for yourself, nobody else will.”
— Dick Costolo, CEO of Twitter

“Every ‘no’ makes space for the perfect ‘yes.’ It’s impossible
to thrive in an overcommitted world. And yet it’s so easy to
get caught up—to drain our energy bank account, leaving
us mentally, physically, and spiritually bankrupt. Your
freedom may be closer than you think. The Power of No by
James and Claudia Altucher is an invitation to a universe
of meaningful opportunities on the other side of ‘no.’ 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 Power of No takes a fresh approach to becoming
masterful at using ‘no’ to say ‘yes’ to life. Grounded in both
practical and spiritual wisdom, James and Claudia take
the reader on an unexpected journey that explores a variety
of ways we prevent ourselves from being fully present in
the here and now. Their book is filled with magic that can
change your life if you’re brave enough to follow their lead!”
— Cheryl Richards on, author of
The Art of Extreme Self-Care

“I would recommend this book to any member
of the human species. It’s bold, empowering,
and useful. It gave me the courage to turn down
distractions so that I could focus on the important
things in life, like endorsing this book.”

author of Drop Dead Healthy
