Learned a lot and will definitely try and use this book in the future. I think this is helpful not only in a work setting but also in personal relationships and engagements.

Well-structured and insightful, with highly probable negotiation scenarios that feel relevant and practical. As someone who hasn’t read extensively on the topic, I found it an enjoyable and accessible read.

The only downside is the narration, which sounds somewhat artificial or overly processed—though I’m not sure if that’s actually the case.

I found this book to be informative and entertaining. When I listened to the audio (the narrator is fantastic), I had just finished almost a year of negotiating our union contract at work. I wish this book would have been available to me when we started negotiating. It's full of really good information.

I also teach Business Law at a junior college. There is a chapter about alternative dispute resolution and a chapter about business ethics. Bazerman discuss Deontological and Utilitarianism in terms of negotiation tactics and that was eye opening to me. I really learned a lot reading this book. I plan on purchasing a copy so I can annotate it and use it in both negotiations and in teaching. You don't have to own a business or belong to a union to find the information in this book useful. I can apply some of the same principles in my everyday life.

I definitely recommend this book.

This is a good book to get familiar with the perceptions on modern / current approaches to negotiation.

Negotiation, by Max H. Bozeman, is an entertaining and informative exploration of the art and practice of negotiation. I enjoyed listing to this audiobook version (the narrator was great—very easy on the ears!), occasionally jotting notes as I thought about areas in my own life where I'd like to employ Bazerman's tactics. I found his personal examples and reflections to be relevant, and I believe they will help me to retain his advice as I use it moving forward in a variety of situations from buying a car to dealing with my teenagers. Highly recommend!!

I’ve never read a book on negotiation before, nor studied it at uni or anything so this book was a fresh train of thought and skills that I enjoyed learning about.

The book had practical, applicable ideas and suggestions for a multitude of situations and circumstances.

The language was easy to understand and follow with great examples of better understanding.

Some things outlined gave me “ah ha” moments because I’ve don’t similar things or had the same thought process before without realising it was negotiation.

A quick, easy to follow read that I recommend for anyone and everyone. It may even warrant a re-read.

Thank you NetGalley for this ARC.

Max Bazerman's audiobook, "Negotiation: The Game Has Changed," is like a GPS for navigating modern negotiation's wild, unpredictable terrain—especially now that we’re all negotiating from our living rooms in pajamas!

With the world turned upside down by COVID-19, Zoom fatigue, and political drama that could rival a soap opera, Bazerman serves up a buffet of fresh negotiation techniques that are more relevant than ever.

Adapting to New Realities
Gone are the days when you could smile and shake hands over a deal. Now, you might be negotiating with someone still mute or trying to interpret cultural nuances while dodging supply chain meltdowns. Bazerman emphasizes that traditional tactics need a makeover—think of it as giving your negotiation skills a trendy new haircut to fit the current climate.

A Toolkit for Everyone

Whether trying to barter with your toddler over dessert or haggling for a better salary, Bazerman provides practical tools to help you navigate any negotiation scenario with finesse. It’s like having a cheat sheet for life’s little bargaining moments.

Ultimately, Bazerman's insights aim to improve bargaining outcomes and enhance relationships. After all, who wouldn’t want to negotiate peace in the family over dinner without resorting to bribery?
