Decent book with some excellent stories about how to come to an agreement with oneself. Nothing ground-breaking here, but a nice read/skim. Part of my 3-star rating (good but not great) is that the stories included were already mentioned in previous books/talks from the author that I was familiar with.

His work as a top negotiator as well as his personal life experiences inform his methods and inspired the listener.

A good companion to the seminal text; nothing new if you have a passing familiarity with psychology (pop or otherwise), but content worth covering nonetheless.

Look in the mirror every day and see the person who most stands in your way.

This is a worthwhile read. I'll likely pick up some of the other works by this author, too. It's worth taking the time to reflect on our mental models and how we can reprogram them to get to the results we are actually seeking. Taking the time to figure out what our actual objectives are is a pretty critical first step and this book puts a lot of emphasis into reminding us to do that.

I don't remember why/how I came upon this book though another book of the author's was recommended to me from a conflict mediator. I almost didn't read this but glad I did. Wasn't what I expected; basically it broke down all the things I learned in therapy last year in a constructive, more organized way.

Such an awesome book! It took me a while to finish this book because of how busy I was, but I am so glad that I was able to finish it!
It is way more important to get to yes with yourself than with others, I think. I highlighted so many paragraphs, it is ridiculous! 🤣🤣🤣

Definitely recommending!
