Start with NO...The Negotiating Tools that the Pros Don't Want You to Know

Review:It's probably impossible to accurately review a book on negotiation until you've had time to try the book's ideas.

The 5 Hidden Keys to Achieving Success - and Sustaining Positive Change

Review:Shawn Achor is a brilliant guy. His research and work hold both an insightful and refreshing view of the world. I'm a fairly optomistic and hopeful person. His book provided me with an even greater roadmap to a more productive and positive way of life, both at home and in the workplace.
