Overview

Written as a motivational "how to" self-help book designed to assist the reader in getting the most out of life by realizing his or her full personal growth potential, this book had broad and general, rather than narrow and small niche, appeal to the mature and young adult reader. It contains some adult language and some sexual content in a few chapters. The book's "say yes" philosophy is presented in a series of memoir vignettes that, while light and entertaining, are encouraging and convincing. Its "how to" element is neither dryly instructional, preachy, nor task oriented but, instead, focuses on the "anybody can do it" aspect of embracing a positive "go for it" affirmative attitude and rejecting the negative ingrained societal "no" response. The author's personal experiences serve as testimony that if he--an average, nobody special person--could do it, YOU can do it. "NEVER SAY NEVER, NEVER SAY NO" is an easy read that has lasting impact on the reader rather than a temporary and fleeting "I can't put this book down" suspense story. The book's philosophical thesis is confronted by the average person with regularity in real life situations. The book is designed to help the average person recognize these everyday opportunities for growth, and it encourages a "yes" response to the potential they offer.
