This audiobook is a wonderful guide for everyone whether in sales, becoming an entrepreneur, or daily life. You don't realize most of the time that negotiations are part of your daily life because we do it so often, but even in a committed relationship you are always negotiating. I love that the author talks about not always having to "win" at the negotiating table but creating a win-win situation for both parties. This is what negotiation is all about, especially if you have an ongoing relationship with the other business party or just in life. A key takeaway for me was the power of silence. It can do wonders to defuse tense situations or help in your negotiating strategy.

I am not big on talking to people, and therefore I do not do a good job with negotiations both in my personal and professional life. I want to have better skills and improve my self-esteem, and I was hoping this book will help with all of that. I can say it is helping. I know that all the work on improvment is by me, but this book does an amazing job with the skills and recommendations.
