Best negotiation book I have ever read. Part of the few books I re-read regularly.
Will need to re-read this twice more. So much tangible advice I need to try out.
I found the narrator's voice grating, frankly, and his manner of delivery was arrogant. That might reflect the author's level of confidence in the material, but it was somewhat difficult for me to get past it.
