This was a book with useful action-items and a very useful re-framing of negotiations. Negotiations are really just ways to understand yourself and others better, because ideally you help everyone get what they really want. However, I don't think I read this book at the right time in my life: I'm either 10 years too late, or X years too early? Great, and mildly life-changing. Plus, a quick read. The stories about hostage negotiation were exciting.

(I got a little hung-up on the chip on his shoulder about titles/accolades; I rolled my eyes at his use of the cliche, "the best and brightest," was frustrated with his fascination with Harvard, and pursed my lips at how many times he mentioned he was the lead international hostage negotiator for the FBI...)
