About The Book
The definitive guide to transforming everyday interactions into remarkable wins, from Harvard Law, MIT, and University of Michigan’s negotiation experts.
What if you could walk away from every conversation with exactly what you want? At work, at home, and in our daily interactions, our lives are full of constant negotiation—from trying to score a promotion to changing an airline flight to getting your spouse to take out the trash. But while we like to think we know how to get our way, too many of us struggle to capture what we know we deserve.
In Never Settle, renowned negotiation experts Attia Qureshi and John Richardson move beyond the basic theory of persuasion to help you drill these invaluable skills to get more in every aspect of your life. Drawing from decades of experience teaching at elite institutions, as well as incorporating insights they’ve culled from FBI negotiation tactics, they offer you groundbreaking, actionable strategies to show you how to negotiate with confidence and achieve extraordinary results, no matter the circumstances. With easy-to-follow, habit-building exercises, this revolutionary guide reveals how you can build trust through reciprocity, get more through a strategic “no,” and craft win-win outcomes through creative problem solving.
Accessible and empowering, Never Settle equips you with the techniques you need to unlock the best deal, without settling for anything less.
