Publisher's summary

Getting to Yes is a straightorward, universally applicable method for negotiating personal and professional disputes without getting taken - and without getting angry.

It offers a concise, step-by-step, proven strategy for coming to mutually acceptable agreements in every sort of conflict - whether it involves parents and children, neighbors, bosses and employees, customers or corporations, tenants or diplomats. Based on the work of the Harvard Negotiation Project, a group that deals continually with all levels of negotiation and conflict resolution, from domestic to business to international, Getting to Yes tells you how to:

  • Separate the people from the problem
  • Focus on interests, not positions
  • Work together to create opinions that will satisfy both parties
  • Negotiate successfully with people who are more powerful, refuse to play by the rules, or resort to "dirty tricks"

Should have listened to/read this book years ago!

Any additional comments?

This was my first book on Negotiation and I would recommended it to anyone who has to deal with other people, in other words pretty well anyone. As a Realtor this will help me negotiate better and more fair results for my clients.

Changes your whole entire worldview

This is a really excellent book. I think the crucial wisdom here on which everything else is based is distinguishing your personal relationship from the substantive, factual considerations of a conversation. The rest of it is learning to focus on what counts. Also it's very fun to read, there's a little bit of humor and some very heartwarming stories of success.

You'll love it, and you'll get wiser.
