What really is negotiation? According to former FBI hostage negotiator and "Never Split the Difference" co-author Chris Voss, it’s not about manipulation—it’s about collaboration.

- The difference between assertiveness and aggression
- Why collaboration beats cooperation for long-term success
- The most powerful negotiation tactics (like mirroring and labeling)
- How to practice negotiation in low-stakes situations for high-stakes results
- Why saying “no” might be the most powerful tool you have
- How negotiation shows up everywhere—even in your Starbucks order
- And yes… what happens when you're in a negotiation and don’t even realize it

From business deals to daily life to literal life-and-death hostage situations, Chris breaks down negotiation in a way that’s both practical and transformative. Whether you're closing a deal or talking to your sister, these insights can change everything.
