I
received a copy of YOUR SACRED YES: TRADING LIFE-DRAINING OBLIGATIONS FOR
FREEDOM, PASSION, & JOY by Susie Larson from Bethany House in exchange for
an honest review. I enjoy books like
this – I think of them as “self help” – and this one really struck a chord with
me. I have recently been plagued by some
stressors both in work and in life, so I looked forward to this book. In one word, it is “liberating.” I liked reading about life from someone
else’s point-of-view. I could relate
much of what was said to things that I do.
People
call me a “go-getter.” A “leader.” “Nice.”
Basically, I say yes to things a lot, and always with an almost too
perky smile. I want people to be happy
and I want to experience new, positive things.
This book helped me to still achieve those sensations while saying
no. The book stresses that these ways
are so that we won’t feel guilt or shame.
I
highly recommend this to, basically, everyone (and especially a few I know
personally who struggle with this. They
will be getting emails from me about this book). We all face moments when we want to say yes,
but it would be in our best interest to actually go with no.
