Take Control of the Conversation

The most subtle thing about this book is not only the negotiation skills (because those skills may not all be used in reality), but also the fact that it points out several different types of negotiators. The complexity of human beings determines that we are not one type, but each has his own points. Everyone thinks that they are "normal" and ignores the other party's "normality" that is different from their own, so they must keep an open mind and accept differences in order to continue the negotiation. And most importantly, overcome the fear of conflict. A very good book!

As an expert in international crisis negotiation, the author of this book organizes and refines it based on his more than 20 years of practical experience to show readers simple and easy-to-learn communication skills. In this book, the author uses easy-to-read language to explain to readers the basic methods and principles of controlling conversations, as well as practical applications in different scenarios, and uses lively and real-life cases to improve the readability and interest of reading. The volume of the book is suitable for daily reading and long-term study. After reading it, you will gain a lot and benefit a lot.

How can you be the smartest person anywhere and dominate the conversation? Let's take a look at the conversation skills and strategies summarized by Chris Voss, an international crisis negotiation expert, from actual cases of life and death for more than 20 years. The author has worked in the FBI for more than 20 years, and 15 of them were in charge of hostage negotiation. Therefore, the author combines his 15 years of negotiation skills with real-life cases to share with readers and the public. Techniques for controlling conversations include repeating the other person's words, empathizing with the other person's pain, mastering "no," making controlling words, and looking for mutually beneficial principles. Finally, the author also provides readers with a one-page list of negotiation materials, which is very worth reading.

Taking control of the conversation actually means taking the initiative in the conversation and controlling the rhythm of the conversation. The author of this book is a well-known negotiation expert. He has summarized 10 conversation skills, and the book provides a wealth of cases, giving us a wealth of learning materials from theory to practice, and we can immediately apply them to real life after learning. This is a very practical book and highly recommended for everyone to read! Especially friends who need to negotiate, or friends who feel that they are terrible at chatting.

The author's writing is so good that I felt reluctant to leave the author when I read the end of the book. Recommend!

A professional and practical negotiation expert with more than 20 years of experience teaches us how to talk and how to take the initiative during the conversation. The book gives two levels of strategies from practice, to theory, and then to practice. The author shares his experience on the front line of life and death and actual combat to teach readers how to get started, learn and master conversation methods and techniques, and then implement practical scenarios in our daily lives. Personally, I think this is a work worth studying. Only when we can control the sovereignty of conversations can we guide and grasp the results we need to obtain at work.

The methodology refined in practice avoids the problem of disconnection between pure theory and practical operation. I can't help but say that it is high, but it is really high. This book is relatively in-depth, and the content can be regarded as an extension of the practical application of psychology, so you need to have some knowledge of psychology to understand it. What a good book

This book is so practical! Author Chris Voss is an experienced negotiator. The strategies and techniques he shares in this book are very practical and can help us better control the conversation in life and work. For example, the book mentions "finding points of agreement from the other person's point of view." This sentence inspired me deeply. Moreover, the cases in the book are very vivid, as if the author is chatting with us face to face. I highly recommend this book!

A good book to enlighten your mind. Worth reading

I think it's great, I'll try it out next to see if it's successful!

Although I didn't fully understand some of the points, there should be no problem if I read it a few more times.
