Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It

A former FBI hostage negotiator breaks down some key negotiation strategies. Part how-to and part history of the FBI's negotiation techniques, with a lot of real-world stories from the author's career.

Completely fascinating. It's largely geared towards business students (the author has a company that consults and teaches negotiation skills), but the strategies themselves are wonderfully explained and how they evolved over time is super interesting. Great, smooth read and stuff you can actually use.

This book is better than I anticipated. The way it was written made it hard for me to keep reading, but the audiobook solved that. There's too many sentences where the author is basically selling himself, but there are very good advices here and I learnt way more than I thought I would. This is a book to come back for advice without any doubt.
