Never Split the Difference: Negotiating as if Your Life Depended on It - Chris Voss

Clear actionable direction on how to negotiate.




I have gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars of value with “would it be ridiculous if”


The ROI on this book is incredible. To be fair, it's easy to get ROI on a $10 book, but I ended up with an extra $40k-ish on a salary negotiations over the years because of some of the details in there. You just need one or two to hit. The hyper specific number idea surprisingly worked for being a pretty goofy concept to me at first.


Not only did these techniques save me money, but they also saved me a considerable amount of time. I've employed these same strategies at work and private to navigate away from requests and projects in which I have no interest.


It's a good book, but I've read it a few years ago and already forgot most of it. I gather you need to refresh this knowledge just before you negotiate.
