It's OK to Say NO: Breaking the Chains of Self-Sacrifice

Donald G. Smith is an advocate for the millions of people who suffer daily from the onslaught of moochers who want to take them for every dime in their pockets, usurp every second of their lives, and strain every ounce of their sanity. His goal is to help people learn that with a little practice, they can be free of these leeches and live happier lives. More than 20 years of work as an editor and editorial supervisor in the aerospace industry has taught Smith that having the strength to choose how you live can greatly enhance your quality of life. He has shared his experiences on many radio talk shows discussing the advantages of saying ¿No¿ and through the messages of his books, How to Cure Yourself of Positive Thinking, The Joy of Negative Thinking, People I Could Do Without, Common Sense for the Beginner, Now Hear This, and It¿s OK to Say NO. Smith and his wife Eileen live in Santa Maria, California, and he¿s very proud of his son, David, who hosts a sports-radio talk show in Los Angeles. He likes all sports (especially college football), jazz, dogs, vodka martinis, maps, corduroy, and Winslow Homer. His favorite cities are San Francisco and Atlanta, and he regards Winston Churchill as the greatest human being of his time. Smith is also the founder of a writers¿ support group in Santa Maria where he teaches adult writing courses and helps anyone who asks learn how to slam the door in the faces of their own Problem Perennials.Donald G.
