Negotiation Made Simple by John Lowry

he wrote a book called negotiation made simple. And I remember reading it and I was pissed off because I'm like I wanted to write a book a couple years ago and then I read his and said this like this is what I wanted to write. So I was frustrated and then I was like I'm going to reach out to him because I have a lot of respect for him. So I did his podcast that'll be live soon, but yeah, that was negotiation made simple. It really breaks it down in an easy way and I think that could be like a bible.

Radical Candor by Kim Scott

And then I like radical candor. I know some of your guests put that on. I've met Kim Scott, she's phenomenal. Like that radical candor really gave me the confidence to be assertive in the ways that I never had been before.

You Can Negotiate Anything by Herb Cohen

I like Herb Cohen's You Can Negotiate Anything. It's a little dated. Uh like old white dude in the 80s dated so be mindful it doesn't suit all audiences

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
