'This book is going to be helpful to you not just once, but more likely every day for the rest of your life. Just recognizing the two types of negotiation and understanding which negotiation you are in could make or save you millions and also keep you from being trapped by a bully on a tear. If I were in your shoes, I'd read this book carefully. I'd read it twice, in fact, and then I'd read it again with a Hi-Liter in hand while listening to the audiobook.' * DONALD MILLER, bestselling author and CEO of Business Made Simple * 'This book is required reading for my team members because I have seen firsthand the impact of effective negotiation.
