- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is a very nice book /audiobook! I totally agree with the author! A lot of times we do not have a control on other people or our environment, but with enough training, we surely can control ourselves. Can we always take a pause before reacting or responding to anything. This practise will give us the opportunity on what's the best response or course to take in any given situation especially when negotiating.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Very, very good and helpful content. It's that kind of book you got back to for refreshing and invigorating informations!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Don’t let the wimpy title fool you. This has some really good nuggets for building relationships and communication skills. I especially liked “respond versus react”, and the tips for overcoming resentment.
