A lively, entertaining work. A multi-faceted approach to the art of negotiation. A convincing demonstration of what it is about and how it actually works.

A clear and most comprehensive, not to mention, practical, book on negotiation. I picked it up and could not put it down.

It has been such a pleasure to read what is destined to inspire in-house counsel and many others for negotiating deals and settlements. It covers the landscape from both theoretical and practical angles. I found myself nodding in recognition and agreement all along the way.
