Critic reviews

"As far as we're concerned, Sarah Knight is our life coach. Her latest No F*cks Given guide is all about the power of saying 'no.' It's filled with pep talks and sage advice for how to say "no" with confidence--and without fear. Consider this your 2020 mood."—HelloGiggles

"Pragmatic, profane, irreverent."—The Guardian

"A compendium of comebacks and replies for when you just don't want to. This has everything our inner introvert has always needed."—Irish Tatler

"Witty and sensible... and does what it says on the tin.... Quite brilliant! Maybe not the ideal gift for Granny, mind!"—The Sport (UK)

"Knight's The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck was a massive hit in 2015 and the follow-up, F*ck No!, will likely prove popular.... [Full of] charts, graphics and tables to fill in and concrete examples of how to say 'no' while sparing someone's feelings. Along with light-hearted advice, Knight neatly guides readers through more serious situations... such as dealing with unpleasant neighbors or avoiding being rushed out of a doctor's appointment [and] setting and enforcing sexual boundaries."—The Independent (UK), "The 5 Biggest Books of December"

Amazing as always

Loved every word, this is one of my favorite anti gurus . I wholeheartedly recommend it for anyone trying to improve their life.

Helpful

So I am not a person who has a hard time saying no but I still found that this book helped me. While listening to this I did realize that there are times I say yes even when I don't want to. So even if you do know how to say know this is still a good book to listen to as you may realize that you do say yes when you don't want to. This book gives you tips on how to say know and how to do it in may different situations.

A Great Book!

F*ck No is a great addition to the Sarah Knight’s collection. It has definitely been one of my favorites.

LIFE CHANGING

I am a people pleaser and let me tell you this is exactly what I needed in my life! I have taken so many lessons and will continue to do so from now on! Thank you Sarah Knight for writing a book that was necessary to helping me learn to say no to things I shouldn’t, can’t, or don’t want too!!!

Should be required reading for grown ups...

I've read ALL of Sarah's books and have hosted her on my podcast. Getting a dose of Sarah Knight books should be a requirment for all adults! There is so much wisdom and honesty in Sarah's work and her story of leaving her 9 to 5 that was sucking the life out of her is beyond inspiring. And listening to her perform the books as well is just icing on the cake.
