Publisher's Summary
From two leaders in executive education at Harvard Business School, here are the mental habits and proven strategies you need to achieve outstanding results in any negotiation.
Whether you've "seen it all" or are just starting out, Negotiation Genius will dramatically improve your negotiating skills and confidence. Drawing on decades of behavioral research plus the experience of thousands of business clients, the authors take the mystery out of preparing for and executing negotiations - whether they involve multimillion-dollar deals or improving your next salary offer.
What sets negotiation geniuses apart? They are the men and women who know how to:
- Identify negotiation opportunities where others see no room for discussion
- Discover the truth even when the other side wants to conceal it
- Negotiate successfully from a position of weakness
- Defuse threats, ultimatums, lies, and other hardball tactics
- Overcome resistance and "sell" proposals using proven influence tactics
- Negotiate ethically and create trusting relationships - along with great deals
- Recognize when the best move is to walk away
- And much, much more
This audiobook gets "down and dirty". It gives you detailed strategies - including talking points - that work in the real world even when the other side is hostile, unethical, or more powerful. When you finish it, you will already have an action plan for your next negotiation. You will know what to do and why. You will also begin building your own reputation as a negotiation genius.

Excellent Implementable Strategies
The book offers wonderful concepts and simple implementable strategies on how to conduct value-creating deals. It's not about just "winning" a deal at all costs.
The Narrator did a commendable job by stressing on just the right points.
A must-read, oops..a must-listen for anyone who wants to improve the overall success rate of their negotiation efforts.

Excellent book with actionable guidelines
This is a necessary toolkit for any individual from homemakers to businessmen and women. It is a basic life skill that just did not get taught at middle school and high school. Some people are naturally endowed with great negotiation skills. This book elaborates how one can acquire this 'art' through carefully planned techniques.

Pragmatic & Powerful Negotiation Methodology
Although I have law school and legal practice as well as business world experience negotiating the authors' approach taught me a great deal.
They know this field profoundly, and provide both a theoretical structure and practical application tips.
There is absolutely gold here for the mining. However, if you are looking for a magical word or a hypnotic phrase you won't find them. Great negotiation results require hard smart work. This shows how to focus your efforts to make success happen.
This is a book I will be reading and re-reading over the years because of the depth of the insights the authors share.
I heartily recommend it!

Very good but....
I really liked the book overall, but they seemed obsessed of referring to Daniel Kahneman and Harvard professors. While I realize that Harvard is a GREAT school, it's not the only Great school. Most authors do research to write their books. It just seemed that they grabbed what was close and easy rather than doing what most great authors do. research, learn, and share with the readers. It just seemed limited to "this is what we already know and are comfortable with". BUT, overall, a very good book. I would definitely read again. I would just prepare myself to hear the same reference over and over (honestly, I wondered whether Kahneman was his uncle or cousin). It was VERY repetitive. To the point of annoyance. But I'll prepare myself next time

Title should be "Wimp Win"
I disagree with what most of this book has to say. I've been in sales and negotiating for some time now. This book feels like it was written by hippies trying to make sure everyone comes out okay and that's just not how it works in the real world.

Worked first try.
Long story short: I have a client that wasn't going to pay me, I assessed her BATNA and determined that I needed to remind her what her best option was. It wasn't good at all. In fact, paying me would have been a bargain compared to the potential consequence of not paying me. She didn't know my BATNA of course which was bad, but not as bad as hers. In the end, I asked her to make me an offer and I gave her a deadline. She called me with an offer and I accepted it. The only mistake I think I made was accepting her offer too quickly. There is a chapter on that, and I realized after that I should have countered her to get a few more bucks and not make her think that I was just as desperate as she was. But, either way, it worked. Great book. Thank you for writing it.

Very informative, intelligent and enjoyable.
This book is very smartly written. There are enough stories to help emphasize the content and the subject is covered thoroughly. Informative and applicable to so many things in business and in life. I was happy I chose it. As a result, I would read more books by these authors, on this topic, written by more Harvard educators.

There are certainly a lot of learning points in this book and so is worth reading it. However, it is seriously too long and examples and case studies are either too silly or "constructed") made up).

Great book not only for negotiation
Would you listen to Negotiation Genius again? Why?
Yes. Quite a number of concepts in the book are worth listening again and impress them in my mind. It's a great book for interpersonal skills that can be applied in work and in family. And it really demonstrates how to be more flexible and analytical and better prepared for difficult situations.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
NA
Any additional comments?
Recommended to anyone who wants to improve his/her skills with people or to be better prepared for tough situations.
