Book Review of Never Split the Difference

Given that he has negotiated the release of hostages in a number of countries and is involved with academic institutions like Harvard, Mr. Voss is well-suited to write such  book. Voss's main point is that people are emotional and irrational.

The historical theories of negotiation are based on human rationality and the development of "win-win" solutions by both parties.However, a win-win situation may not be possible during a hostage crisis.Therefore, the book's title never splits the difference.

Why it's an excellent book on negotiation?

1.It explains how to comprehend another person's thoughts.

2.It shows you how to gain an advantage in a negotiation step by step.

3. It's simple to put into practice.

4.The book is also simple to read and doesn't take too long to read.

5. Additionally, it is a short read.

6.It teaches you how to take advantage of the other person's mind in a negotiation.

The book is written very clearly, and each chapter explains various negotiation-related topics. Each chapter begins with an anecdote, and as you move through the chapter, the concept is made clear. The author provides a step-by-step strategy for winning any negotiation. 

Voss highly admire Daniel Kahneman’s work of Thinking Fast and Slow. You can become a master of negotiation with just a little practice. Mere a simple conscious that “every conversation in the world is negotiation” can give us upper hand in leveraging the situation in our favor. I can definitely consider this book as one of my greatest reads.
