Negotiation Boot Camp: How to Resolve Conflict, Satisfy Customers, and Make Better Deals

12 reviews
Ed Brodow

Doubleday Business, 2006

Ethical and well written
I liked this book a lot. Most negotiating books are either so complicated that you'd have to be an ambassador to understand them or so aggressive in their tactics that you wouldn't want to use them. This book is a perfect balance of ethical methods that will make you a winner. Ed Brodow is a competitor of mine on the negotiating lecture circuit and he has done an excellent job of distilling his ...

Your Defiant Child
This is an excellent book for all parents who are stuggling with discipline issues with their children. I recommend this book in my practice for parents of teenagers. The authors have extensive experience and they do not treat the subject simplistically.

The No-Fault Classroom: Tools to Resolve Conflict & Foster Relationship Intelligence
Sura Hart, Victoria Kindle Hodson

Puddledancer Press, 2008

Positing a radically new understanding of the root of conflict—unmet needs—this analysis boldly directs students and teachers to recognize feelings as important messengers of those needs. Refocusing attention from feelings to the needs behind the feelings addresses the underlying problem rather than the symptom; with this objective, the concept of the “No–Fault Zone" is introduced. It is a place in the classroom free from ...

People Skills: How to Assert Yourself, Listen to Others, and Resolve Conflicts

Robert Bolton

Touchstone, 1986

Great people skills book
Although "People Skills" was first published in 1986, I feel obliged to review it as the principles and lessons espoused by Robert Bolton are timeless. In fact it is probably one of the most used books in my collection (I even have the paperback version covered in plastic and it's never far from my desk). "People Skills" is not a book that one sits down and reads from cover to cover. It's a ...

The Dale Carnegie Organization

Nightingale-Conant, 2005

AN ESSENTIAL LISTEN !
This six cd set is a real bargain at the Amazon price, it sells for three times as much elsewhere. It is a programme that must be listened to many times to get the maximum benefit, but is well worth it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their communication skills, which is really everyone on planet Earth. It is a must have programme.

Love Is Never Enough: How Couples Can Overcome Misunderstandings, Resolve Conflicts, and Solve

10 reviews
Aaron T. Beck

Harper Paperbacks, 1989

Excellent book!
I felt this book was insightful, consise, and most importantly helpful. The strategies in this book focus on automatic thoughts, your perception of your mate, and how to foster good communication. The tone of the book is very friendly and non confrontational. If your relationship is in trouble, or you just want to improve your relationships, this is a good book to get.

VectorWorks 2008 Fundamentals Training Workbook

1 review

Resolve Software Solutions, 2007

a newbie takes a look
For reasons that have nothing to do with any perceived deficiencies in the products from Autodesk, after twenty years of ACAD, I've had to shift to VWX08/Landmark and start all over. Perhaps that's why I'm about as confused using Vectorworks08 as I was when I first started with ACAD 9. As such, VWX08 gets a big dope-slap for shipping the product with no book. Perhaps they've said "intuitive" ...

Collins Living, 2007

Praise from Isabel Allende
As the matriarch in a very large extended family, where there is much love but conflict may be unavoidable, I read Collaborative Divorce with great interest. I hope my family will not need to use it, but just in case, I bought a copy for each couple around me. Bitter divorces are expensive, painful, they create long-term resentment, and make it difficult to raise healthy children. The damaging ...

W. Robert Nay

The Guilford Press, 2003

Provides a way to identify behavior issues AND gives methods to change them.
I have been greatly helped by this book. I've read others and had lackluster results mainly because they focus on identifying and classifying issues but fall short when it comes to weponizing the reader with techniques that achieve results. This text (like some others) begins by drawing the reader in with situational examples mapped to a breakdown of the underpinning anger types. There are ...

Raising a Thinking Child: Help Your Young Child to Resolve Everyday Conflicts and Get Along with Others

Myrna Shure, Theresa Foy DiGeronimo

Pocket, 1996

Required reading for parents
This book and its successor, Raising a Thinking Preteen, are going to be required reading for prospective parents when I am king of the world. There are so many cliche phrases that we learn from our parents, TV, etc. that are very destructive, and certainly not constructive, and this book teaches parents how to talk to their children to foster many positive traits, including the "hungry mind" ...
