An entertaining and inspiring account of conquering the 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.

This is probably the most fun I've ever had implementing "therapy". I purchased a deck of Rejection Therapy cards two years ago. After a couple of half-hearted tries, I set them aside, feeling defeated. The fear had won. When I read Jia's blog last year, I immediately thought about my own attempts at rejection and thought "maybe I should try again?".

So when I learned Jia had written a full-length book about his journey into the heart of rejection darkness, I jumped at the chance to read it and give it a review. While he takes you through his process as he stated in the blog, he also gives a better understanding of the long-lasting effects these rejection attempts have given to his life. As he states in the beginning, he didn't realize how every aspect of his life would be affected by rejection therapy.

Where will rejection take you? Will it get you what you want? I can't answer that. All I know is, after reading his book (and using his corresponding Rejection Gym) my muscles are sore but I am much stronger. Who knows where this will lead?

I enjoyed this book for the reason that, unlike most other books that cover fear and rejection, "Rejection Proof" went beyond theory and concepts and actually provided actionable information and content through Jia's story that'll inspire you and motivate you to get off the couch and start living life by going beyond your comfort zone. I particularly enjoyed the "Lessons" section toward the end of many chapters that summarized the key points of each chapter. In this way, once I completed the book, I am able to return to the "Lessons" section at the end of each chapter to quickly recap the key points of the chapter and, thus, use this book as more than a good read, but a resource guide as I travel down my path of personal and professional development. Without a doubt, this is 1 of 2 books that I readily refer to for my development and recommend to others that wish to have access to an actionable resource that'll help them overcome fear and rejection.
