👍 Worth It
A crisp, emotionally intelligent primer on negotiation that delivers real-world frameworks without the manipulation playbook you find elsewhere. At 160 pages it covers the essentials without overstaying its welcome, though anyone facing complex multi-party deals will need to supplement. Best for professionals who want a practical reset on how they show up at the table.
