Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Learn the negotiation model used by Google to train employees worldwide, U.S. Special Ops to promote stability globally (“this stuff saves lives”), and families to forge better relationships.

A 20% discount on an item already on sale. A four-year-old willingly brushes his/her teeth and goes to bed. A vacationing couple gets on a flight that has left the gate. $5 million more for a small business; a billion dollars at a big one.
 
Based on thirty years of research among forty thousand people in sixty countries, Wharton Business School Professor and Pulitzer Prize winner Stuart Diamond shows in this unique and revolutionary book how emotional intelligence, perceptions, cultural diversity and collaboration produce four times as much value as old-school, conflictive, power, leverage and logic.
 
As negotiations underlie every human encounter, this immediately-usable advice works in virtually any situation: kids, jobs, travel, shopping, business, politics, relationships, cultures, partners, competitors.
 
The tools are invisible until you first see them. Then they’re always there to solve your problems and meet your goals.

Reviews

Goodreads review by Katja

"Getting More" is not a useless book, especially if combined with a day-long training, but how incredibly verbose it is! A proper summary would require 20 pages, the essence fits onto a tiny card which you will get if you attend the training. While reading the book I often had the feeling that it st......more

Goodreads review by Andy

The ethics of this book are somewhat disturbing. The author himself wonders throughout if it's wrong to do what he recommends. At one point he asks "What if everybody did this?" and his non-responsive answer is "Everybody doesn't". The honest answer is that if "everybody did this" there would be mas......more

Goodreads review by Blakely

This is an excellent book with a collaborative viewpoint on negotiations. The only reason I am giving it four stars is that I found it annoying to constantly read about students of Stuart Diamond who were (or would later become) V.P.s of financial or IT companies, who clearly had a lot of money, neg......more

Goodreads review by Pattie

Enjoyed the book, which is about how to negotiate like a woman (although that is mentioned in the book only in the context of "don't send in your most powerful person, send in the least - maybe even a woman). The author suggests making honest human connections with your "opponent" and thinking about......more

Goodreads review by Brandon

Although extremely repetitive and sometimes verbose, this book did contain many great strategies to winning negotiations. The book's content was great, but the writing mechanics lacked. The whole book (approx. 300 pages) could have been equally as effective if it were 100 pages. Many phrases in the b......more
