Ожидания не совсем оправдались. Но книга, автор которой, один из лучших в США адвокатов по бракоразводных процессах, повеяла не тем привычным ветром. Это оказался чуть другой жанр/стиль при этом не выходя из темы искусства переговоров.

Рауль Фелдер ещё тот хитрец и ещё к тому весьма ловкий адвокат представил свой стиль искусства переговоров и поделился опытом теми словами и о тех вещах о котором как обычно не очень принято распространятся.

Нет, не то что вы могли подумать, автор не болтун, он бдит конфиденциальность, но он приподнимает ковер и дает вам возможность заглянуть под него, чтобы понять и быть готовым к этим "подковерным играм". Он предпринимает попытку подготовить к вас к подобным схваткам и научит выходить победителем или же закрывать переговорные процессы в рамках приемлемых для вас компромиссов.

Отдельной особенностей книги является то, что она словно живая и как будто Фелдер вам лично дает уроки искусства переговоров.

Take-Aways

Negotiation is part art, part skill.
Begin a negotiation with a high demand - you can always come down.
Always learn all you can about your opponent before the negotiation.
Never put your fate in the hands of a third-party arbitrator.
Be tough but don't be vicious. You may have to deal with your opponent again.
Pigs get slaughtered - don't let greed and the desire for revenge get the best of
you.
Make several plans so if one doesn't work you have a fallback.
Know when to walk away and know how to walk away.
Try to get control of the place and the pace of negotiations.
Divorce negotiations are particularly emotional and you should expect irrational
behavior.
