About this listen

Useful wisdom. Simple profound mental models to guide your decisions.

Overwhelmed? If you feel anything less than “hell yeah!” about something, say no. We say yes too often. By saying no to almost everything, you leave space and time in your life to throw yourself completely into the few things that matter most.

After Derek Sivers’ “hell yeah or no” rule was adopted by podcasters, bloggers, and investors, he compiled related ideas into this useful, profound, and surprising book around the themes of what’s worth doing, fixing faulty thinking, and making things happen. Examples:

  • Be proud to be a slow thinker.
  • Goals shape the present, not future.
  • Assume you’re below average.
  • Life has no speed limit.
  • What’s obvious to you is amazing to others.
  • Relax for the same result.

The first 15,000 early buyers of Hell Yeah or No have posted hundreds of 5-star reviews at sive.rs/n—but it is now being released to a wider audience.

I love the books, thought provoking and punchy. Not filled with fluff chapters just for the sake of it.

I actually like the different style of audiobook with chapter announcements and musical hits - this breaks it up, keeps it interesting and engaging rather than monotone reading.

Love the book

I hesitated to buy this rather short book and now I'm glad I did. Lot's of short chapters with condensed concepts for living a good life. I'll definitely relisten to this and try to apply some of them to my own life. Thanks Derek!

Highly recommend for thought provoking ideas about life

Thanks Derek, this is now my favourite book and answered a lot of my questions in life.

Very clever, thought provoking

There is much wisdom in this book. The downside of the audio is the very annoying chapter announcements by a Scottish lady. I found myself cringing every time. Will buy a paper copy if I want to revisit…

Great Ideas, Annoying Presentation
