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.

前几天看了《被拒100天》这篇TED演讲后,内心被演讲者蒋甲的行动和变化触动,我相信:任何人,只要真正地去执行了被拒100天计划,都会有巨大的收获和改变。对此,我深信不已,况且,作者蒋甲把它干的很有创意、疯狂,有他自己的特色,同时他开通了博客,专门来记录这整个事情。...
评分每个人在成长过程中,难免会有被拒绝的经历,例如向喜欢的人表白被拒绝啊,找工作被拒绝啊……在某种意义上,被拒绝其实就是失败。 然而,一次失败并不代表着永远的失败。就像书的名字一样,没有永远的拒绝,你只是暂时不被接受。老话常谈,失败乃成功之母,只要不放弃,学着...
评分作為一個受著中國最傳統教育的自己,出生在並不繁華的海邊小城鎮,被保守的父母從小耳濡目染,被父母和師長教導成為含有中國人所具有的“內斂特質人格”的人。 而我所具有的所謂“內斂特質人格”就是害怕主動請求,害怕被拒絕,害怕不別認同,對要求有著深深的恐懼。 記得小時...
评分原以为这只是一本类似一百个冷笑话集锦那般,对于一百个拒绝故事进行有趣的情景再现的书,阅读之后发现其定位并不是博人一笑,以奇人怪事来吸引读者注意。作者在书中对于“拒绝”进行了较为严密且专业的研究与数据分析,为我们认识“拒绝”这个词提供了更为客观和直接的感受。 ...
评分拒绝都是有限度的,如果被拒绝者被拒绝的次数足够多了,“不”最终会转化成“是” 看了他的演讲后看的书,在此之前,我也下了一个挑战,挑战与不同行业的陌生人合照,但是我只是在执行,思考,而没有进一步的再次挑战。在这本书中,我看到的更多是每一次拒绝挑战后作者的思考,...
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
评分Before this book, I thought "rejection is a form of guidance." Jia's proven rejection is a piece of muscle. As an introvert, I broke a sweat on going through the journey of 100 days of rejection with Jia, it was an emotional read. One of the best books I've read this year.
评分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~
