  <default-description>We're constantly negotiating in our lives, whether it's convincing the kids to do their homework or settling million-dollar lawsuits. For those who need help winning these battles, Roger Fisher has developed a simple and straightforward five-step system for how to behave in negotiations. Narrated soothingly by NPR announcer Bob Edwards, Fisher adds the meaty portions of the material with a sense of playfulness. The blend of voices makes this tape easy to listen to, especially the real-life negotiating scenarios, in which negotiating examples are given. This is a must-have tape for every businessperson's car. (Running time: one hour, one cassette) &lt;I&gt;--Sharon Griggins&lt;/I&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[Good book on negotiating.  Probably a little short on examples and more thorough discussions.  If you are really looking for a good book on negotiating and understanding standard sales techniques then I would recommend Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion by Cialdini.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm only giving it 3 stars b/c lets face it--philosophy only goes so far.  There are personalities who are MADE for this and others (like mine) who are spectators.  So yes, it's a great book, but no matter how great the advice, it doesn't change my personality.  haha]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[A classic, and especially helpful when negotiating with groups, businesses, and/or men.  I recommend checking out non-violent communication techniques to supplement this for groups of women, who tend to communicate differently amongst themselves.  ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Again, required reading for my class... but it was so interesting that i took it on vaca with me!  Valuable techniques.  A lot of it is common sense but it is good to think about.  And it was well written with interesting examples. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting approach to bargaining. I see the wisdom of what the authors say, but I am having trouble in applying it to everyday situations, since most people want to jump ahead to the bottom line. Worthy read though.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book contains many interesting facts about the negotiation process and gives many examples that come from real life. Some parts were obvious for me but still I learned a trick or 2.<br/><br/>Unfortunately it's read in such boring, monotone way that it was difficult for me to keep reading it t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45630605">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I got this book for my negotiations class in college. We only read the first half for the course, but I finished it out of curiosity.<br/><br/>The ideas in the book are fairly common sense and simple. Everything they present is fairly generalized and they say you'll need to adjust it for your spec...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/41396347">more...</a>]]></body>
