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.

Rejection is an inevitable part of life. Benjamin Franklin should have said that the only things sure in life are death, taxes, and rejection. But while rejection hurts, it is a good sign that you put yourself out there. It is better to put yourself out there and take risks in life, than live a tiny little rejection-proof box. Fear of rejection is a natural part of the human experience. But it can also limit you. You can never be truly rejection-proof, unless you completely shelter yourself and avoid living life. However, you can actually make yourself rejection-proof in the sense that you no longer fear rejection. Without fear holding you back, you can actually achieve your dreams. You will no longer hold yourself back out of fear. Use this book to change how you view rejection. Instead of viewing rejection as a horrible event that you must avoid, you can view it as a learning experience and a normal part of life. You can remove the fear from rejection so that it no longer holds you back. The pain of rejection is not as bad as the regret of never taking a chance. You cannot just sit back and let your dreams die because you are too scared to try to make them come true. Rejection may happen and it may hurt, but that is no reason to let your dreams die. Begin to rejection-proof yourself by overcoming your fear. Begin to be more positive about rejection. Learn and grow from it. Make your dreams happen. This book is your guide to becoming as rejection-proof as possible in a world where rejection is a fact of life.
