      This negotiating guide gives listeners the ability to do something EVERYONE wants to do--get their way in any situation. Peter B. Stark and Jane Flaherty tag team the reading of this instructional guide, and the male/ female contrast provides a good way for the listener to notice when the conversation is changing. For example, one reads about a given situation, and the other gives the solution or example. Both speak with feeling and emphasis. There's a lot of information to take in all at once and, although there is a lot of reiteration, it helps one listen in small bits and still get the most out of it. J.F.M.

      The act of negotiating--particularly when it comes to purchases and salaries--is enough to make many readers panic and grit their teeth, hoping the person they're dealing with has their best interests at heart. Stark, who runs a management consulting firm, and Flaherty, a senior consultant for Stark's company, offer this helpful guide to arm beginners and refine experienced negotiators. The first half of this comprehensive, inspiring book deals with the concepts and psychology behind the art of negotiating, and includes a self-assessment test for readers to gauge their existing skill level. The authors emphasize the importance of having the right attitude and aiming for a win-win situation rather than the other three possible outcomes: lose-lose, win-lose or no outcome. The book's strongest portion is its second half, which supplies 101 concrete tactics for getting yourself the best deal and counteracting those who are seeking concessions from you. One can't help but wonder what would happen if everyone read this book--people from both sides would be too savvy for either to get a good deal.
