Not particularly academic, but pleasing

This is like sitting by the fire listening to a friend wax lyrical on the topic of negotiating. Its not particularly academic, but I found it pleasing, even amusing, to listen to. I've already listened twice, and probably will many more times.

not about negotiating

this is more about how to take care of a customer and who to approach with your product. the only real negotiating topic was what he mentions at the beginning of this book. after that it is just a long story about what customers to approach and how to treat them. also which negotiation books he recommends. boring!!

There are Life Lessons in this pithy audio book

I listen to this on a regular basis. It's like life coaching and there is no fluff. All good, meaningful information
