ABOUT ABOUT
This month we're focusing on negotiation. One of the top books in the field is "Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement with Giving In" by Roger Fisher and William Ury.

One of the reviews from Amazon: "In virtually all circumstances where people are working together, they come to agreement in ways that short-change the interests of everyone involved. This landmark book shows practical ways to find out what other people want, and to devise better alternatives that create a "win" for everyone. The authors do a great job of overcoming the preconception that many hold that working on problems means that you have to be unpleasant. The advice to be hard on the problems and easy on the people (building a relationship) is a key concept that everyone can use. I have found this book to be one of the most helpful that I have every read, and I cite its lessons in my own book. I recently had a chance to use these principles in a negotiating workshop with veteran negotiators, and I was struck by how few people apply the lessons of GETTING TO YES. You will vastly improve your life if you read and practice the ideas in GETTING TO YES."

The paperback is $8.84 and the Kindle edition is $15.99 (that makes no sense whatsoever).

As always, we'll be meeting at the Cosi on 18th and Walnut (right by Rittenhouse Square). If it's nice out, we can also venture out to the park. If you don't have time to eat, Cosi has a great selection of pizza and sandwiches and as well as coffee and other drinks.

The event is limited to 6 participants total so we can have an intimate, thoughtful discussion.

Hope to see you there!
