Never split the difference

Book review with Stuart McGuire

Never Split the Difference written by Chris Voss, who was a former international hostage negotiator for the FBI offers a new field-tested approach to high-stakes negotiations—whether in the boardroom or at home. He reveals the skills that helped him and his colleagues succeed where it mattered most: saving lives.
