Cheesy at times, but one of the few books with the potential to change all of the relationships in your life for the better

[Vince · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book mostly informs personal applications and is heavy on the "discover the other party's interests and negotiate a win-win solution" approach. Some food for thought and some interesting anecdotes.

I'd have liked a paradigm for when win-lose negotiations are desirable and how best to pursue such, but the point of this book was to deny that win-lose situations need exist. A bit idealistic.

I'm learning mediation, but this book really could be great for anyone who has conflict -- that's everyone right?? Just a really solid book on how to negotiate anything so that it's a win-win for everyone involved. Loved it.

Enjoyed it. I read it for a management class, but it teaches you lessons you can use in everyday life as well. Great Business/Self-Help book.

Actually provides useful insight into conflict resolution and emotional maturity. Has actually helped me solve some problems. An unusually good self help book

This is a great starter book on negotiating. On finding win-win solutions.
