About this listen

William Ury, co-author of the classic best seller on negotiation Getting to Yes, has taught tens of thousands of people from all walks of life - managers, salespeople, students, parents, lawyers, and diplomats - how to become better negotiators. Over the years, Ury has discovered that the greatest obstacle to successful agreements and satisfying relationships is not the other side, as difficult as they can be. The biggest obstacle is actually ourselves - our natural tendency to react in ways that do not serve our true interests.

But this obstacle can also become our biggest opportunity, Ury argues. If we learn to understand and influence ourselves first, we lay the groundwork for understanding and influencing others. In this indispensable prequel to Getting to Yes, Ury draws deeply on his personal and professional experience negotiating conflicts around the world to present a practical method to help you get to yes with yourself first, dramatically improving your ability to get to yes with others.

Extraordinarily useful and elegantly simple, Getting to Yes with Yourself is an essential guide to achieving the inner satisfaction that will, in turn, make your life better, your relationships healthier, your family happier, your work more productive, and the world around you more peaceful.

"When the student is ready, the teacher will appear." I've been waiting for this book for a long time. Profound. Practical and compassionate.

This book filled in so many gaps for me that it is hard to write a review without telling my life story, and how this information, had I had it to hand, could have abbreviated much gnashing of teeth and wasted years. I recommend it. Wholeheartedly.

WIN,WIN,WIN!

With a voice that is peaceful and soothing Ury lays out the roadmap for inner peace.
In six simple yet profound steps he offers the chance of a paradigm shift in our negotiations with ourselves.
It almost feels like once you are aware of your reactivity and your need to go to the balcony you can not unsee that awareness and right there you have already transformed.
Loved the real life examples which were quite effective and well placed.
Would love to have a workbook!!
With sincere gratitude -
A must read 👍👍

Short-to-medium, but packed with original and combinatory content, with even the exact co-creators being named by Ury at the end.

The medium is part of the message here, and Ury's steady, controlled, passionate rendition, along with the other books of his he read out, has been the key component enabling me to meet the challenge of surviving and thriving while giving comfort, love and respect, in a unique circumstance. Thank you.

I might owe you my sanity.

Thank You. Another excellent book.

We all have the power to reflect but many do not see the advantages referring to it as 'rehashing or dwelling on the past' when in fact this practice strengthens us from within. It is what our mind does naturally when we sleep. So what should we not continue when we are awake. We all have the power to find the happiness we truly seek from within. This book helps provide the tools and path to do so and prosper... Be Well...

Great common sense practices...

I love the way you get concious about negotiating it's not about taking its about discovering both sides deepest needs and get in common ground of what both parties are willing to GIVE not to take.

Great!
