Other Thoughts on The Book:

A lot of the authors personality comes across in this book; you may or may not agree with everything however don’t let that distract you from learning from this excellent book. Also, Jim Camp has another book about negotiation, called “No: the only negotiation system you need for work and home.” This is a newer book and if you’re debating between that one and this, go with the newer one instead.
