Saturday June 3 at 1:30 p.m. The Book of No. Do you feel guilty when your child demands that you launder his soccer uniform immediately? Does an out-of-town friend suddenly want you to clear your calendar for an unexpected visit? Rutgers University social psychologist and teacher Susan Newman, author of The Book of No will speak about her book, which demonstrates workable techniques for helping you just say no. Newman contends that for many people, saying yes to whatever is asked of them is an unhealthy pattern driven by a need for approval, love or admiration, rather than a desire to help.
