Story
For years now, win-win has been the paradigm for business negotiation. But today, win-win is just the seductive mantra used by the toughest negotiators to get the other side to compromise unnecessarily, early, and often. Win-win negotiations play to your emotions and take advantage of your instinct and desire to make the deal. Start with No introduces a system of decision-based negotiation that teaches you how to understand and control these emotions.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we are all susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself.

Health and wellness campaigns preach avoidance of unhealthy foods, sedentary lifestyles, tobacco, drugs, and alcohol, but rarely preach avoidance of unhealthy, difficult, or toxic people. Yet the health benefits of removing toxic people from your life may have far greater benefits to both physical and psychological health. We need to learn to be better gatekeepers for our minds, bodies, and souls. Narcissism, entitlement, and incivility have become the new world order, and we are all in trouble. They are not only normalized but also increasingly incentivized.

“Coaches rely far too much on asking open-ended questions,” says Marcia Reynolds. But questions only seek answers — inquiry provides insight. When, instead of just questions, clients hear their thoughts, opinions, and beliefs spoken by someone else, it prompts them to critically consider how their thinking affects their goals. Reynolds cites the latest brain science to show why reflective inquiry works and provides techniques, tips, and structures for creating breakthrough conversations.

This title offers a first-person diary account of living through the Great Depression, with haunting parallels to our own time. Benjamin Roth was born in New York City in 1894. When the stock market crashed in 1929, he had been practicing law for approximately ten years, largely representing local businesses. After nearly two years, he began to grasp the magnitude of what had happened to American economic life, and he began writing down his impressions in a diary that he maintained intermittently until he died in 1978.

Sustainable Cultures Includes Improving All Areas
'Ego Authority Failure' clearly shows the very human trait of being prone to the fast-result-outcomes of the ego dominated, short-term profit ideology of our culture. As the world grapples with the many dire complexities facing our world community, with concerns equally ranging between concerns for the continuity of organized life, and global inequalities leading to global instabilities, all fueled by economic extremes and environmental emergencies... a balancing out of all extremes and the seeking of smooth, sustainable transitions becomes increasingly the preferred option. When the multi-faceted complexities inherent in a species whose impact on the planet and technologies are global... the seeking out of pathways that are as broadly sustainable as possible becomes the most prudent and optimal path for restoring balance to the ecosystem. Being a species prone to ego-exuberance, makes having well-thought out strategies and policies, that effectively channel these tendencies a very well proven concept and plan. With economic regulations curtailing profit-exuberance (short-term profitism at the expense of everything) for the long-term benefit of the global commons is now widely recognized within and outside the field of economics. As we see corporate-exuberance create ever increasing islands of plastic in the oceans of the world, the need for environmental regulation is now universal. Equally, the abuse of power across the collective areas of corporate mandates for shareholder profits, politics, banking, and the entire trickle down ideology... has left the world literally in environmental and economic tatters, as obviously outdated socio-economic models fail ecological paradigms. The middle path of balance-of-power is now a universal human concern, as the entire human project becomes increasingly vulnerable to out-of-balance tendencies; and why all things sustainable is the primary and growing concern for global citizenry. Derek Gaunt's book highlights how the nature of power is prone to and easily fanned by ego, which quickly leads to the failures that are unfortunately following us into the 21st century. All areas of power-concentration should be steadfastly seeking the routes, practices and policies to avoid repeating history and surpassing the worst of history, And primarily striving for the long term longevity of a bio-diverse world... dominated by a species that is learning to become a more sustainable global culture on all fronts.
