When global powerhouses are caught in a deadlock, the man they call is Herb Cohen, the world's foremost expert on the art of negotiation. Now the author of the New York Times bestseller You Can Negotiate Anything draws on decades of unrivaled practical experience as he teaches you that negotiation is not a do-or-die gambit to bend others to your will-but a high-minded game to master, to enjoy, and to win.

Detach yourself emotionally so you are able to care, but not t-h-a-t much

Succeed with can't-lose strategies that will make them say yes
Know when to ignore deadlines and still stay in the game
Play not to the power you've got, but to what the other side thinks you've got
Laugh off the most dire threats.
