   Summary: Skip this book, buy Getting to Yes instead
I bought this book expecting to see a refinement or elaboration of the strategies explained in, "Getting to Yes!". I was extremely disapointed!

The first step, "Go to the balcony" basically says to take a time-out to get some perspective. Come on! Negotiations happen quickly. How often do we have the luxury of "sleeping on it". I need a strategy that can be used on the fly.

There is too much focus on being congenial: "Acknowledge their point/feelings", "Offer an Apology", "Agree Wherever You Can". Sure it's important to understand their interests, but don't compromise yourself just to make them happy. Getting to yes puts it much better, "Soft on then people, hard on the problem".

Skip this book. If looking for a great negotiation book, then buy "Getting to Yes".

   Summary: Extremely Helpful
This is probably the most useful book I've ever read. I'm kicking myself for not reading it sooner. 1000 thanks to Dr. Ury. This is one title you will never regret buying.

   Summary: Worth it's Weight in Gold
This book doesn't claim to be a book on LISTENING, and yet it subtly explains and beautifully uses the key elements of listening.
This book doesn't claim to be a book on DIALOGUE, and yet it deftly explains and elegantly uses the key elements of dialogue.
This book doesn't claim to be a book on APPRECIATIVE INQUIRY, and yet it reviews the basics and explains and uses the key elements of appreciative inquiry.
This book doesn't claim to be a book on ASSERTIVE COMMUNICATIONS, and yet it identifies and uses the key elements of assertive communications.
This book doesn't claim to be a book on SYSTEMS THINKING, however, it uses examples to explain and effectively uses the key elements of systems thinking.
This book doesn't claim to be a book on MENTAL MODELS, and yet it explains the pitfalls of not understanding mental models.
This book DOES claim to be a book on NEGOTIATION, and is clearly the best of the best. The book beautifully shows how one can effectively use all of the above skills during everyday communications AND negotiations
All the examples are crystal clear and convincing. Read it, refer to it often and profit from it.

   Summary: Easy to read book for beginners
It is the best book for the beginners to learn negotiations by in a day. The book is easy to read and to the point. For advance readers I will recommend "Essentials of negotiation by Lewicki et al"

   Summary: At last, a proven, repeatable PROCESS!
I recently embarked on a project to improve my negotiating skills. I read about half a dozen books and for the most part they left me wanting more. The main thing that was missing was a PROCESS.

"Getting Past NO" provides a simple, proven and repeatable process that you can take with you and hone in the real world.
Mr. Ury calls this process--Breakthrough Negotiation. The steps are:

1) Go to the balcony
2) Step to their side
3) Reframe
4) Build them a golden bridge
5) Use power to educate

The book is very well written with excellent examples and wonderful stories and metaphors. The book is well organized and provides an excellent summary that helps ensure that you "get it".
