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.

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。 ...
評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...
評分 評分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...
評分我觉得我要成事儿了。其实自己最大的问题就是害怕被拒绝,这次我觉得找到了解决方案。书已经买了,明天到,回头再翻墙看看视频。解决了这些问题之后我就要起飞了,火星见各位。因为害怕拒绝而错过很多事情,现在刚刚好,ready to fight。到140字才能发表我在凑字了,还不够,应...
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.
评分故事本身我很喜歡,對我很有幫助。閱讀時一直有小學生作文的感覺,沒有用的心理獨白太多,不是很有意思的比喻,還有個人覺得沒有想象力的不好笑的幽默。但是還是覺得作者很勇敢很棒
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~
评分給我一月的傷痛貼個創可貼。作者對於拒絕和say no的恐懼真的跟我一模一樣,就是文中動不動跳齣來的名人名言和例子非常中學生作文感…
评分最有意思也最有啓發的是作者講述自己的經曆,讓我也躍躍欲試,導緻有點興奮反而無法很快入睡。後麵擺名人例子、拔高上價值、以及幫助自己老婆找工作啥的,雞湯味就有點重瞭。對於rejection的分析有理有據,提供的tips有很有幫助。
