An entertaining and inspiring account of conquering his fear of rejection, offering a completely new perspective on how to turn a no into a yes.
Jia Jiang came to the United States with the dream of being the next Bill Gates. But despite early success in the corporate world, his first attempt to pursue his entrepreneurial dream ended in rejection. Jia was crushed, and spiraled into a period of deep self doubt. But he realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be, and he needed to find a way to cope with being told no without letting it destroy him. Thus was born his "100 days of rejection" experiment, during which he willfully sought rejection on a daily basis--from requesting a lesson in sales from a car salesman (no) to asking a flight attendant if he could make an announcement on the loud speaker (yes) to his famous request to get Krispy Kreme doughnuts in the shape of Olympic rings (yes, with a viral video to prove it).
Jia learned that even the most preposterous wish may be granted if you ask in the right way, and shares the secret of successful asking, how to pick targets, and how to tell when an initial no can be converted into something positive. But more important, he learned techniques for steeling himself against rejection and ways to develop his own confidence--a plan that can't be derailed by a single setback. Filled with great stories and valuable insight, Rejection Proof is a fun and thoughtful examination of how to overcome fear and dare to live more boldly.
JIA JIANG is founder of the popular blog and video series 100 Days of Rejection. His story has been covered by dozens of news outlets, including Bloomberg Businessweek, Yahoo News, the Huffington Post, Forbes, Inc.com, MTV, Gawker, the Daily Mail, Fox News, and CBS's The Jeff Probst Show. A native of Beijing, China, Jiang came to the U.S. as a teenager to pursue his dream of becoming an entrepreneur. Jiang holds an MBA from Duke University and a bachelor's degree in computer science from Brigham Young University.
勇敢地智取,而不是懒惰地期望用蛮力解决问题。 不怕失败,勇敢尝试是好的。 但作者尝试的很多事情,无关紧要,失败成本不高。 有些时候,失败会影响后续行动的成功率。因为采用鲁莽愚蠢的方法造成的失败,会降低自己的形象,消耗有限的资源,疏远可能提供帮助的人。也有可能让...
评分 评分Once upon a time, an author came across a negative comment on Amazon underneath the name of his book. It was a glaring eyesore staring at him, and he couldn’t get over it. Pondering over the comment for a while, he decided to track down the commenter who t...
评分蒋甲,作为中国移民到美国的80后,身上也有着中国孩子的烙印。在文中,他这样形容自己:“我作为移民来到美国,曾在很好的学校接受教育,在很好的公司供职,我为自己这些年努力挣得的社会地位而自豪!”,的确,他就是大多数人的影子,他按部就班的做着一份朝九晚五的工作,家...
评分不久前的一个上班日早上,朋友在微信上推给我的TED演讲,我刚好还没有开始工作状态,于是点开看了看,15分钟左右的演讲,我深深的被触动了,一度热泪盈眶,马上就去YouTube上订阅了作者的视频,说到战胜自我,这个概念在非常年幼的时候听到过姐姐说,是非常难的事情,越长大越...
Jiang's rejection journey is quite inspiring and interesting, but I like the last few chapters most, in which he helped his wife find a job in Google with what he learned from dealing with rejections. His wife is admirable as well. What a lovely couple haha~
评分故事本身我很喜欢,对我很有帮助。阅读时一直有小学生作文的感觉,没有用的心理独白太多,不是很有意思的比喻,还有个人觉得没有想象力的不好笑的幽默。但是还是觉得作者很勇敢很棒
评分给我一月的伤痛贴个创可贴。作者对于拒绝和say no的恐惧真的跟我一模一样,就是文中动不动跳出来的名人名言和例子非常中学生作文感…
评分浓浓一碗鸡汤。其实给两星有点过分,因为我其实从中受益良多。然而实在觉得买书没有什么必要,去看作者的Ted Talk就好(值得看的,尤其是我们这种不甘心的社恐)。
评分找工作被拒时的鸡汤
