About the book:
People tend to dislike the process of negotiation and often with good reason. They go up against jerks who present low-ball offers, make ultimatums, and try to take advantage of them. Some people feel they have to act like a jerk in response. Others are too nice and give away the store. In a new work, Barry Nalebuff asserts that there is a better way, an approach that brings principles and logic into the negotiation.
Nalebuff wrote Split the Pie to help change the way people negotiate. Specifically, to help people negotiate in a fair and principled way. Nalebuff wants to help people who see themselves as having little power recognize the true power they have in a negotiation. And, he wants to help people achieve their negotiation goals without being a jerk.
