Written in the same remarkable vein as Getting to Yes, this book is a masterpiece … I truly enjoyed it and felt edified by it – Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
This is one of those unusual works that is so carefully constructed and written that you may find yourself praising its common sense and nodding easily in concurrence … It is a book to reflect upon and that belongs on every negotiator’s reference shelf * The Negotiator Magazine *
The book is both profound and easy-to-read, based on a wide range of research and first-hand experience in negotiation. There is no interaction setting - public, professional or personal, local or international - where its recommendations will not be applicable – Elise Boulding, Professor Emeritus at Dartmouth University

Exactly what we need now: a lucid, systematic approach to dealing with emotions, infused with a practical wisdom that will help you understand, enrich, and improve all your negotiations - and your relations with fellow human beings – Leonard L.
