Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The Cost of Yes: The Magic of Saying NoWhy Refusal Is Not Cruel-and Saying Yes Costs More Than You Can AffordEvery yes has a cost.At first, it feels reasonable - a favor, an adjustment, a quiet compromise to keep things moving. But over time, repeated agreement reshapes responsibility. Expectations solidify. Roles harden. And without noticing, you begin paying for arrangements you didn't design and problems you didn't create.Why does saying no feel dangerous - even when it's necessary?Why is refusal so often misread as selfishness or cruelty?And how do workplaces, relationships, families, and cultural norms quietly reward compliance while penalizing clarity?In The Cost of Yes, C. Maris examines the hidden economics of agreement. Drawing from psychology, identity, leadership dynamics, and cultural expectation, she reveals how cost migrates toward the most reliable person in the room - and why burnout, resentment, and misalignment are often structural, not personal failures.This is not a book about rebellion.It is a book about proportion.Inside, you'll discover: Why overcommitment feels moral - but becomes expensiveHow emotional labor quietly redistributes responsibilityWhy "being good" can become a liabilityThe psychology behind people-pleasing and silent overextensionHow to say no without over-explaining or apologizingHow refusal restores balance in work, relationships, and leadershipNo is not cruelty.It is accounting.You cannot eliminate cost from life. But you can decide where you pay it - and whether your yes is chosen or automatic.If you've ever felt overextended, under-recognized, or quietly responsible for more than your share, this book will give you language for what you've sensed - and a framework for reclaiming proportion.Because a meaningful yes requires the freedom to say no.
