THE HUGE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

A former FBI hostage negotiator offers a new, field-tested approach to negotiating - effective in any situation.

After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI, where his career as a kidnapping negotiator brought him face-to-face with bank robbers, gang leaders and terrorists. Never Split the Difference takes you inside his world of high-stakes negotiations, revealing the nine key principles that helped Voss and his colleagues succeed when it mattered the most - when people's lives were at stake.

Rooted in the real-life experiences of an intelligence professional at the top of his game, Never Split the Difference will give you the competitive edge in any discussion.

Reviews

Such a great book that is relevant to more than just FBI negotiations: it's relevant to my relationship with my partner, to my business, to everything in between. It's relevant to all interactions I have with all humans, and that's testament to why it has sold so many copies worldwide. Never Split The Difference is a guide to negotiation drawing on the lessons Voss learned when he was working as the FBI's lead hostage negotiator . . . he has the most amazing stories about dealing with criminals and terrorists. I love that all of his insights are really practical in day-to-day life too. Filled with insights that apply to everyday negotiations. A brilliant book. Negotiation, as someone once said, is 'the art of letting someone else have your own way'. It's an art well worth learning. And who better to learn from than Chris Voss, whose skills have saved lives and averted disaster? Expand reviews
