Reviews" Rejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch. You'll laugh out loud at Jia's crazy social experiments, but you'll also go away thinking differently about what you can accomplish."  -- Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness of Pursuit and The $100 Startup "I hope you buy two copies of this book because as soon as you read it, you'll want to give it to someone else who needs a boost of bravery too. And your friend is not going to give it back because it's not just a book, it's a constant companion for the next adventure. So buy two, better yet, buy 10 because it's hard to imagine someone who won't be encouraged and challenged by what Jia Jiang has written in Rejection Proof." Jon Acuff, New York Times bestselling author of Do Over: Rescue Monday, Reinvent Your Work & Never Get Stuck and Start "A clever and inspiring read that will change the way you approach anything that may seem out of reach. This book made me want to look fear in the eye...and then kick it in the ass." - Alison Levine, author of New York Times bestseller On the Edge: The Art of High-Impact Leadership "Rejection Proof is a fun, thoughtful examination of how to overcome our fears and dare to live more boldly. You have no idea what you can achieve until you try!" -- Nancy Duarte, bestselling author of Slide:ology: The Art and Science of Creating Great Presentations, " Rejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch. You'll laugh out loud at Jia's crazy social experiments, but you'll also go away thinking differently about what you can accomplish."  -- Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness of Pursuit and The $100 Startup "Jia's  compelling and inspiring book is a wonderful example of how shifting our perspective can allow us to really see what makes us tick." --Dan Ariely, Professor, Duke University, Author of Predictably Irrational "I hope you buy two copies of this book because as soon as you read it, you'll want to give it to someone else who needs a boost of bravery too.

Jia's 100 days of ridiculous requests of strangers is a journey that will not only make you more resilient, but will also give you insights into persuasion and how to turn "no's" into "yes's". Highly recommended." -- Kevin Kruse, New York Times Bestselling Author,  We
SynopsisThe inspiring, relatable, and sometimes outrageous true story of how one man used 100 days of rejection therapy to overcome fear and dare to live more boldly " Rejection Proof smashes fear in the face with a one-two punch. You'll laugh out loud at Jia's crazy social experiments, but you'll also go away thinking differently about what you can accomplish."--Chris Guillebeau, New York Times bestselling author of The Happiness Pursuit Jia Jiang's TEDx Talk, "What I learned from 100 days of rejection," has amassed over ten million views! 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. Jia realized that his fear of rejection was a bigger obstacle than any single rejection would ever be; he needed to find a way to cope with being told "no" that wouldn't destroy him. Inspired by rejection therapy, which uses similar modalities as exposure therapy to desensitize you to the effects of being rejected, he undertook the "100 days of rejection" experiment, during which he willfully sought out 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 donuts in the shape of Olympic rings (yes, with a viral video to prove it). Over the course of one hundred rejection attempts, Jia realized that even the most preposterous wish might be granted if you ask the right way. He learned the secrets to making successful requests, tactics for picking the right people to approach at the right time, and strategies for converting an initial no into something positive. More important, Jia discovered ways to steel himself against rejection and live more fearlessly--skills that can't be derailed by a single setback. The changes Jia experienced from his rejection therapy experiment went far beyond becoming more successful in business; he realized that he could apply these techniques to get more out of his relationships with friends, family, and even casual encounters with strangers. Filled with great stories and valuable insight, Rejection Proof shares the secrets of Jia's rejection journey, distilling each lesson into a strategy that can be used in any negotiation or pitch., 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.

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 Book is Like that Friend Who Keeps Pushing You to Face the Fear of Rejection

    Checked this book out from the library. After reading it, I felt that the book was speaking about and to me on what I the fear I was dealing with. Mr. Jiang's story about how he faced and beat rejection really helped me to see that anyone can beat rejection. I purchased the book to keep with me so in times that I feel that I am in fear of rejection, I can always go back and reread this book for inspiration and motivation. I highly recommend this book.
