When I first looked at this book, I saw that it was written by someone involved in the Harvard Project on Negotiation. I've read some books from authors there (including a few by William Ury who wrote the foreward for this book):Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving InGetting Past No: Negotiating with Difficult PeopleThe Power of a Positive No: Save The Deal Save The Relationship and Still Say NoDifficult Conversations: How to Discuss What Matters MostAll those books helped me be better in business. They helped me with techniques and approaches to negotiate. While they often seemed to promise more than they delivered, they did deliver a lot.This book delivers little. It might be good as a self-help book that you read for inspiring personal stories and anecdotes, if you like that sort of thing (and I sometimes do). But the author promises in the book's subtitle to deliver a "Breakthrough Method for Leading, Living, and Lasting Change." If there was a method in the book, I missed it. And I was looking pretty carefully. There's no method there.
