As a former hostage negotiator for the FBI, Voss is a master at the art of negotiation. While
you may never have to negotiate with someone’s life in the balance, his advice about
tactical empathy applies to lower-stakes situations as well.
Description
A former international hostage negotiator for the FBI offers a new, field-tested approach
to high-stakes negotiations—whether in the boardroom or at home.
After a stint policing the rough streets of Kansas City, Missouri, Chris Voss joined the FBI,
where his career as a hostage negotiator brought him face-to-face with a range of criminals,
including bank robbers and terrorists. Reaching the pinnacle of his profession, he became
the FBI’s lead international kidnapping negotiator. Never Split the Difference takes you
inside the world of high-stakes negotiations and into Voss’s head, revealing the skills that
helped him and his colleagues succeed where it mattered most: saving lives. In this
practical guide, he shares the nine effective principles—counterintuitive tactics and
strategies—you too can use to become more persuasive in both your professional and
personal life.

Easily one of the best books that I have read over the last few years. Honestly, in my
opinion, the title does not suit the book very well. While the title is applicable, and it

Excellent book by a former FBI-CIA hostage negotiator. Many great insights and debunks the Yes-Yes
problems. Also, throws out the "remove the emotion" concept in Getting to Yes.
