    In this book, we'll discuss all of the best hardball negotiation tactics; both how to use them, and also how to defend yourself against them. You'll learn how to press the other party hard for the best possible deal, while also defending yourself from being taken advantage of. 
While some negotiation tactics use strength, the most effective tactics use intelligence, strategy, and finesse. Here's why: The most crucial skill for you to have - as a negotiator - is the ability to make the other party feel they've won the negotiation and obtained a great outcome - even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. You want the other party to be willing to do business with you again in the future, and also to give you great reviews, references, and referrals. 
To accomplish the objectives above, you'll learn negotiation tactics that combine timeless relationship building skills, scientifically proven principles of influence and persuasion, and the best strategies from The Art of War by Sun Tzu - the classic 2,000-year-old Chinese military strategy book. You'll ensure the other party feels they've been treated fairly and obtained a great outcome, even if, when dividing up the pie, you've secured most of the pie for yourself. 
The truth is, all that's necessary to get the results you want is for you to do a few basic fundamentals really well. Doing the basic fundamentals really well is always the fastest, easiest, and most effective way to get excellent results. Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn timeless fundamentals that will always be relevant. 
You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke, follows the story of a man living in a vast, labyrinthine house filled with tides and statues. The protagonist, known as Piranesi, meticulously records his observations in journals, believing he is one of only two living people in this world. As the narrative progresses, he begins to question his understanding of reality and his place in this strange world, discovering that his memories have been manipulated and that his identity is more complex than he thought. The story explores themes of memory, identity, and the search for knowledge, while also delving into the nature of good and evil through Piranesi's interactions with another man known as the Other and a mysterious figure known as 16. Ultimately, it is a journey of self-discovery that highlights the importance of finding meaning in one's surroundings rather than an elusive, abstract knowledge.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Art of Seduction" by Robert Greene explores the complex dynamics of seduction as a strategic form of power and persuasion. The text details how seduction is not just about physical attraction, but a carefully constructed process. It focuses on understanding the psychology and vulnerabilities of the target as a key element to success. The book presents various types of seducers, each with distinct attractive traits and outlines specific strategies for breaking down resistance and inducing surrender in a target. These methods involve the use of subtle tactics, such as insinuation, mixed signals, and the creation of illusions. The text shows how the seducer moves from initial contact through to the final stages of surrender, applying techniques that appeal to emotions, fantasies and desires to create a hypnotic and persuasive effect.
