You certainly don’t want to disappoint others and you worry people will think you are not a team player if you say no. Still, we have all said yes to things we wish we hadn’t.

Joining me to explain how you can say no and not feel bad about it is Professor Vanessa Patrick from the University of Houston and author of the book The Power of Saying No: The New Science of How to Say No That Puts You in Charge of Your Life  (https://amzn.to/3MUs6KE).

Here to explain the important distinction between happiness and satisfaction and how you can lead a more satisfied life is Dr Jennifer Guttman. She is psychologist in private practice and author of the book Beyond Happiness: The 6 Secrets of Life Satisfaction (https://amzn.to/43mzyoB). Eye contact can be very powerful in any relationship.
