Negotiation Handbook

Most people enter negotiations with a fundamental misunderstanding — they believe it's a contest. This comprehensive handbook dismantles that myth and replaces it with principles that work everywhere, from salary discussions and business deals to family decisions and high-stakes diplomacy. Covering the psychology of decision-making, emotion management, ethical strategy, and tactical execution, the book includes a complete Negotiator's Field Guide breaking down six core styles and common gambits, real-world case studies including the Paris Peace Accords and the Cold War SDI negotiations, and a professional workbook with 30+ practice scenarios, preparation templates, and 90-day development plans. Whether you're closing your first deal or refining decades of experience, this is the book you prepare with before you sit down at the table.
