Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss - Paperback is a gripping and practical guide to negotiation from former FBI lead international hostage negotiator Chris Voss.

Clear, fast moving, and packed with memorable examples, this bestselling business book introduces powerful ideas such as tactical empathy, calibrated questions, active listening, mirroring, labelling emotions, and creating trust under pressure. Instead of treating negotiation as a battle of logic, Voss shows readers how to understand the emotions, motivations, fears, and hidden needs behind every conversation.
