Publisher's summary

William Ury, co-author of the classic best seller on negotiation Getting to Yes, has taught tens of thousands of people from all walks of life - managers, salespeople, students, parents, lawyers, and diplomats - how to become better negotiators. Over the years, Ury has discovered that the greatest obstacle to successful agreements and satisfying relationships is not the other side, as difficult as they can be. The biggest obstacle is actually ourselves - our natural tendency to react in ways that do not serve our true interests.

But this obstacle can also become our biggest opportunity, Ury argues. If we learn to understand and influence ourselves first, we lay the groundwork for understanding and influencing others. In this indispensable prequel to Getting to Yes, Ury draws deeply on his personal and professional experience negotiating conflicts around the world to present a practical method to help you get to yes with yourself first, dramatically improving your ability to get to yes with others.

Extraordinarily useful and elegantly simple, Getting to Yes with Yourself is an essential guide to achieving the inner satisfaction that will, in turn, make your life better, your relationships healthier, your family happier, your work more productive, and the world around you more peaceful.

Thank You. Another excellent book.

Short-to-medium, but packed with original and combinatory content, with even the exact co-creators being named by Ury at the end.

The medium is part of the message here, and Ury's steady, controlled, passionate rendition, along with the other books of his he read out, has been the key component enabling me to meet the challenge of surviving and thriving while giving comfort, love and respect, in a unique circumstance. Thank you.

I might owe you my sanity.

Great common sense practices...

We all have the power to reflect but many do not see the advantages referring to it as 'rehashing or dwelling on the past' when in fact this practice strengthens us from within. It is what our mind does naturally when we sleep. So what should we not continue when we are awake. We all have the power to find the happiness we truly seek from within. This book helps provide the tools and path to do so and prosper... Be Well...

Great!

I love the way you get concious about negotiating it's not about taking its about discovering both sides deepest needs and get in common ground of what both parties are willing to GIVE not to take.

Loved listening to Williams wisdom!

I really enjoyed learning more about the principles of getting to yes with yourself. It taught me that in order to succeed ID defer succeed with myself.

An All-Time Favorite for Me

I love personal growth – I've listened to and read many books. This one is at the very top of the list of my all-time favorites.

Very nice and useful.

I feel like avoiding years of mistakes by hearing this audiobook. The first step to reach peace must be finding it inside myself.
The autor's experience and the audio quality are two high positive aspects that moves me to recommend it to everyone who intends to make good use of five hours of life.

Take a look at yourself inside out

This book has been an eye opener for me. Gave myself a new perspective, I'd never considered before reading this work.

Healing for business, family and organizations

IMMENSELY VALUABLE and IMMEDIATELY USEFUL... Hands down, one of the best books I've ever read. A priceless education in business, family, social relationships, organizational cooperation, negotiation and human relations.

Must still read his previous book

Very good and complementary to "the power of a positive no" which is his masterpiece and share with the people I care.

Just the lift I needed

What a wonderful book! Filled with practical tips and drawing on many disciplines, William Ury let's his light illuminate the path with wisdom, kindness and downright good advice.
