E.M. Gray once observed, "The successful person has the habit of doing the things failures don't like to do. They don't like doing them either necessarily. But their disliking is subordinated to the strength of their purpose." This is the essence of Habit 3. You'll learn a new mindset of examining how you spend your time, and you'll learn how to focus your efforts in ways that create greater success both professionally and personally.

For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

If you own 7 Habita, don’t buy
If you own seven habits, then there’s no reason to purchase this, unless just want to have habit five in a separate audiobook. It is essentially a rereading of that chapter. There are no new examples or discussion in this audiobook.
