And how often do you agree to do things you don’t want to do? Most of us—especially those who don’t wield traditional modes of power, or, at least, not as much relative to others—often find ourselves navigating around “no” and landing on “okay” or “sure” instead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Power of No\u003c\/i\u003e releases us from our white-knuckled grip on agreeability. In this eclectic yet empowering book, \u003ci\u003eAtlantic \u003c\/i\u003econtributing writer Anna Holmes explores why it’s difficult for many of us to utter that two-letter word on its own, through an idiosyncratic mix of searing analysis, expert-led research, and stirring insights from the likes of Charlotte Brontë to Shonda Rhimes. From the linguistic, to the societal, to the psychological—from our impressionable childhood to the revelations of middle age—to sex, desire, and bodily autonomy, Holmes playfully traces how “no” shapes our lives and, if exercised properly, can radically change the way we carry ourselves and move about the world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEqual parts heartfelt meditation and fiery manifesto, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of No\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to embrace the invigorating truth that “no” is a complete sentence.\u003cb\u003eAnna Holmes \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning writer, editor, and creative executive whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e.
