From the linguistic, to the societal, to the psychological--from our impressionable childhood to the revelations of middle age--to sex, desire, and bodily autonomy, Holmes playfully traces how \"no\" shapes our lives and, if exercised properly, can radically change the way we carry ourselves and move about the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEqual parts heartfelt meditation and fiery manifesto, \u003ci\u003eThe Power of No\u003c\/i\u003e is a call to embrace the invigorating truth that \"no\" is a complete sentence.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnna Holmes \u003c\/b\u003eis an award-winning writer, editor, and creative executive whose work has appeared in numerous publications, including \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e.
