BETWEEN THESE COVERS

You can care without always saying yes.

Habits & boundaries
By Andrew Stinson

You said yes. Your evening said otherwise.

You are the reliable one. The accommodating one. The person who can apparently fit one more thing into a day that has already ended.

Done Being the Easy One explores how to speak sooner, make clearer requests, handle pushback, revisit commitments and share responsibility without quietly taking everything back.

You can care about other people and still have a place in your own life.

THIS MAY FEEL FAMILIAR

You keep saying yes while your own needs wait.

Here’s what you’ll explore.

  1. 01

    Speak sooner and make clearer requests.

  2. 02

    Handle the conversation after your first no.

  3. 03

    Share responsibility without taking it all back.

A NOTE FROM ANDREW STINSON

Why this book
exists.

The first “no” gets a lot of attention. I became more interested in what happens immediately afterward. Someone asks again. They look disappointed. Your boss controls the schedule. A relative says, “But we always do it this way.” You already said yes last Tuesday. This book is about those second sentences—the ones that determine whether a boundary survives contact with another human being.
