Never Split the Difference – The Negotiation Playbook You Never Knew You Needed

Buy on Amazon

Negotiation isn’t just for boardrooms and FBI hostage situations—it’s happening all around us, every single day. Whether you’re trying to get a raise, convince your partner where to go for dinner, or even get your toddler to bed without a meltdown, you’re already negotiating. The question is: Are you doing it well?

In Never Split the Difference, Chris Voss, a former FBI hostage negotiator, reveals game-changing techniques that help you win negotiations without being aggressive or manipulative. His approach? Use tactical empathy, mirroring, labeling emotions, and other subtle psychological strategies to guide conversations in your favor.

Here’s why this book is a must-read:

• You’ll learn the power of “No” – Most people fear rejection, but Voss shows why hearing no is actually an opportunity to dig deeper and get what you really want.

• You’ll master the art of mirroring – Repeating just a few words of what the other person says can make them reveal more than they intended (and make you look like a genius negotiator).

• You’ll understand how emotions drive decisions – Logical arguments alone won’t win negotiations. Voss teaches you how to use emotions—both yours and the other person’s—to your advantage.

• You’ll get real-world examples – From hostage situations to business deals to everyday interactions, Voss shares fascinating stories that prove his techniques work.

I started applying his methods in small ways—like negotiating a better deal on my internet bill. The result? A 20% discount without a single argument.

If you want to be more persuasive, get better deals, and walk away from every conversation feeling like a winner, Never Split the Difference is the book that will change the way you communicate forever.
