The Negotiator. How to Achieve Success, #1

Negotiating isn't something exclusive to big business owners, politicians, or business executives in suits. Negotiating is something you do every day, often without realizing it. You negotiate with your partner when you're trying to agree on a weekend getaway. You negotiate with your boss when you're discussing a raise or proposing a new schedule. You negotiate with your children, with your parents, with yourself.
And yet, no one teaches us how to do it right. This book is designed precisely for that: to help you understand, master, and enjoy the art of negotiation in all aspects of your life. What you'll find here aren't empty formulas or prefabricated phrases meant to sound convincing. You'll find real conversations, common mistakes, practical solutions, and strategies you can apply from the first chapter.
This is a book written in simple words, designed for you, who perhaps don't consider yourself a great negotiator, but who know you need to learn to speak better, to defend your ideas without hurting others, to say no without feeling guilty, and to build win-win agreements. Because negotiating well isn't a rare skill; it's a way of living with greater awareness and respect. Each chapter has been written so that you can see yourself reflected in it, so that you can say: that happens to me, I've experienced it.
From how to negotiate as a family without breaking ties, to how to handle difficult conversations at work. From how to recognize another person's breaking point without manipulating, to how to give in without losing power. Here you will understand why giving in isn't losing, why the first move can change everything, and why the words you use open or close doors, even without you realizing it. It is a profound yet practical journey.
Thoughtful yet direct. Relative, yet very useful. This book wasn't written for you to read and save. It was written for you to use. So you can return to it when you need to put together a proposal, face an uncomfortable conversation, set boundaries, or simply understand yourself better. Because negotiating is also about listening to yourself, knowing what's best for you, identifying when something isn't fair, and having the courage to act with emotional intelligence, not impulse.
It's not just about convincing others; it's about knowing yourself. If you've ever felt like you struggled to defend your ideas without getting into conflict, if you've ever left a conversation feeling defeated, or if you simply want to learn to communicate better, this book is for you. You don't need previous business experience; you just need to want to achieve better results in your relationships, in your time, in your work, in your life.
Because whoever learns to negotiate well, learns to live better. And that's something we all deserve.
