Beth Wareham - The Power of No
Posted on September 8th, 2009 by Kim
Beth Wareham is a book editor and writer who works for Scribner. She has edited everything from the Joy of Cooking - took 4 years and gained 30 lbs - to Gone with the Wind (and no, she didn’t go into the text and change anything.) She is from Texas, where you say “hell, no!” and is just now becoming a master with that tiny little two letter word that has so much power to make one’s life better.
I generally enjoy your show. However, this author was on promoting her book on how to say no and people who called in were basically told to lie to get out of situations. BIG difference between saying no and lying to get out of something. I was shocked that your show would endorse people to do this. People are being told to do. Do we not have enough deception in our world as it is without creating further lies and drama? I will continue to listen to your show but I was very disappointed in what this author was saying.
