Consider Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss. Recommended by 17 sources.
“Chris Voss delivers a blunt, story-driven playbook drawn from years as an FBI hostage negotiator. You'll learn field-tested techniques like mirroring, labeling, and calibrated questions, all illustrated through kidnappings and standoffs. The value is raw, psychological leverage you can apply immediately to business or personal disputes. The limitation: Voss's world is adversarial, and his advice can feel manipulative or out of place in everyday relationships. Without an interest in his crime stories, the book may also feel repetitive.”
