Never Split the Difference

Never Split the Difference – 5 Stars:

What a great book. Over the years, I’ve read so many business and self-help books that I consider it a win even if a book gives me just one or two fresh insights or helps crystallize things I already know.

This one way over-delivered. It gave me empirical, usable techniques that I can actually apply in day-to-day life. I’m even thinking of creating a personal cheat sheet because I see this book as fundamental—I want to master the concepts.

The writing is tight, clear, and refreshingly free of filler. Best of all, it avoids the self-congratulatory, overly patriotic tone that often plagues books by former military or law enforcement folks.
