Valuable analysis of just about any verbal interaction which goes
beyond 'pass the butter, please'. Everybody has 'discussions' like
the examples given here: where neither side says what's really on
their mind, nobody is truly satisfied with the outcome and both
parties come away with bad feelings, facing future awkwardness,
resentment or worse. The authors hail from the Harvard Negotiation
Project, part of Harvard Law School, and provide an intriguing
breakdown of conversations into different formats, suggest some
surprising new ways of looking at what's going on, learnign from
the situation and adopting different strategies to resolve
problems. (Kirkus UK)
