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.
"Rejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch. You'll laugh out loud at Jia's crazy social experiments, but you'll also go away thinking differently about what you can accomplish."
--Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness of Pursuit and The $100 Startup
“Jia’s compelling and inspiring book is a wonderful example of how shifting our perspective can allow us to really see what makes us tick.”
--Dan Ariely, Professor, Duke University, Author of Predictably Irrational
“Rejection Proof is a fun, thoughtful examination of how to overcome our fears and dare to live more boldly. You have no idea what you can achieve until you try!”
--Nancy Duarte, bestselling author of Slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations
"Jia Jiang helps us see the folly in spending our lives avoiding failure and rejection. His advice helps us build powerful companies, careers, brands, relationships and lives. If you are human, you need this book!"
-Pamela Slim, author of Body of Work
"Every page of Rejection Proof had me both laughing and feeling inspired. Jia's 100 days of ridiculous requests of strangers is a journey that will not only make you more resilient, but will also give you insights into persuasion and how to turn "no's" into "yes's". Highly recommended."
--Kevin Kruse, New York Times Bestselling Author
這本書的結構安排無疑是經過深思熟慮的,它不僅僅是一本“如何做”的指南,更像是一部構建個人心智模型的藍圖。它不是簡單地羅列成功學的口訣,而是從更深層次剖析瞭“拒絕”在個人成長軌跡中所扮演的真正角色。我發現它巧妙地將理論學習、案例分析和自我反思練習融為一體。每一章的結尾似乎都設置瞭一個“思想的錨點”,讓你不得不停下來,審視自己過去的行為模式和根深蒂固的信念係統。我尤其欣賞作者在構建“抗拒體係”時所采用的層次遞進法,從最錶層的行為改變,逐步深入到核心價值觀的重塑,每一步都穩紮穩打,讓人信服。這種結構上的嚴謹性,保證瞭讀者在閱讀過程中不會迷失方嚮,而是能清晰地看到自己正在沿著一條清晰的路徑嚮前邁進,每一步的積纍都是可見的,這種確定感是極其寶貴的。
評分這本書的敘事節奏簡直像是一場精心編排的交響樂,高潮迭起,張弛有度。作者似乎非常懂得如何引導讀者的情緒,從一開始的鋪陳到中間的衝突爆發,再到最後的升華,整個過程一氣嗬成,讓人完全沉浸其中,根本停不下來。我常常發現自己會在不知不覺中讀到淩晨,隻為瞭知道接下來會發生什麼。作者在描述那些“被拒絕”的場景時,那種細節的刻畫入木三分,讓人感同身受那種挫敗感和掙紮,但緊接著,那種化腐朽為神奇的轉摺又會立刻將你拉齣來,注入一股強大的正能量。這種高低起伏的敘事技巧,讓整本書讀起來一點都不枯燥,反而充滿瞭戲劇張力。我欣賞作者敢於直麵那些最不堪迴首的經曆,並且將其提煉成寶貴的經驗,而不是用空泛的說教來搪塞我們。這種真實感,是任何浮誇的口號都無法比擬的強大驅動力。
評分這本書給我最大的啓發在於它徹底顛覆瞭我對“失敗”的固有認知。在過去,我總認為拒絕是終點,是能力不足的證明。但作者用極具說服力的篇幅和豐富的親身經曆告訴我,拒絕不過是信息反饋的一種形式,是通往目標路上的必然噪音。這種視角的轉換是革命性的,它瞬間消解瞭長期以來壓在我心頭的那塊大石頭。我開始不再迴避那些需要勇氣去嘗試的場閤,反而帶著一種近乎好奇的心態去迎接可能到來的“不”。這種心態上的轉變,帶來的力量是無可估量的,它解放瞭我很多精力,讓我可以專注於行動本身,而不是擔憂結果。這種“放過自己”的智慧,遠比書裏教導的任何具體談判技巧都來得重要和持久。它教會我的不是如何去“贏得”每一次互動,而是如何在這場永無止境的博弈中,保持內心的寜靜和強大的韌性。
評分這本書的裝幀設計簡直是一件藝術品。精裝本的質感拿在手裏沉甸甸的,那種觸感立刻就讓人覺得物有所值。封麵設計非常大膽,色彩的運用和字體排版都充滿瞭力量感,讓人一眼就能感受到它想要傳達的那種“無所畏懼”的精神。我尤其喜歡書脊的處理,那種精細的壓紋讓它在書架上非常引人注目。內頁的紙張質量也挑不齣毛病,印刷清晰,排版疏密有緻,閱讀起來非常舒服,長時間閱讀眼睛也不會感到疲勞。這本書的實體感本身就是一種激勵,當你把它放在手邊時,就好像隨身帶著一本精神的“護身符”。我通常不喜歡在書還沒讀完的時候就給它做過多的評價,但光是這種外在的精緻和用心,就已經為接下來的閱讀體驗定下瞭一個非常高的基調。它不僅僅是一本書,更像是一件值得收藏的作品,無論是自己閱讀還是作為禮物送給朋友,都顯得非常有品味和深意。這種對細節的極緻追求,讓人對作者想要在內容上呈現的品質也充滿瞭期待。
評分從文學性的角度來看,這本書的文字功底非常紮實,充滿瞭洞察力和力量感。作者的遣詞造句獨具匠心,沒有使用太多晦澀難懂的術語,而是用一種非常接地氣、充滿畫麵感的語言來闡述那些深奧的心理學和哲學觀點。我注意到作者非常擅長運用對比和排比的手法,使得那些復雜的概念變得異常清晰易懂。例如,在描述“恐懼的本質”時,作者通過一係列生動的比喻,將那個抽象的概念具象化,讓我仿佛能親手觸摸到恐懼的脈絡。更難得的是,作者在保持專業性的同時,並沒有失去人性中那種溫暖和幽默感。在一些相對沉重的段落後,總會巧妙地插入一兩句自嘲或者風趣的點評,有效地緩解瞭閱讀的壓力,使得整本書的閱讀體驗非常輕鬆愉悅。這種文學性和實用性的完美結閤,是很多勵誌書籍難以企及的高度。
