- This is an excellent book on negotiation…. I particularly like this text because it is clear, concise, and methodical. Although negotiation can seem complex, this text breaks down key strategies point-by-point, and these strategies for negotiating can be applied in every facet of life. This is a quick read, and an excellent resource, not merely for business, but for life.
- The book is unique in its organization by covering each step in the negotiation process chronologically from preparation through performance…. The chronological order of the book made it easy to understand and each chapter has a "Key takeaway" summarizing the most important concepts covered. Further, the book provides concrete examples and case studies to show how the concepts are applied in practice and is written in a style which provides deep insights through plain language. I particularly enjoyed the Negotiation Style Assessment and the chapter on the "Use of Psychological Tools" for negotiation.
