  Never Concede - Negotiate Like a...

  What do hostage negotiators know that the rest of us don't? They know that logic alone never saves a life—and that the same is true at the bargaining table, in the boardroom, and at the kitchen table.
  In Never Concede: Negotiate Like a First Responder, behavioral scientist and decision theorist Ezra Tovell reveals the counterintuitive principles that elite crisis negotiators use to resolve the highest-stakes standoffs on earth—and shows exactly how those principles translate into the salary conversations, business deals, family disputes, and personal conflicts that shape everyday life.
  Drawing on neuroscience, behavioral economics, clinical psychology, and decades of real crisis negotiation cases, Tovell dismantles the myth that better facts and stronger arguments win negotiations. In reality, people resist not what is said but how it makes them feel. Proposals fail not because they are illogical but because they trigger loss, threaten identity, or signal disrespect. Understanding why is the first step. Knowing what to do about it is what this book delivers.
  Chapter by chapter, Never Concede builds a complete, practitioner-tested skill set:
  - Why emotion is not a distraction from rational decision-making but the engine that drives it—and what that means for every offer you make - How every conversation operates on four simultaneous channels, and why skilled negotiators listen on all of them - The difference between performative listening and tactical listening—and why only one of them changes outcomes - How tone, pace, and vocal presence often matter more than the words themselves - Why "that's right" is the most valuable phrase in any negotiation, and how to earn it without forcing it - The hidden power of "no"—and why inviting refusal is often the fastest route to genuine agreement - How to name what the other side won't say, using emotional labels that reduce threat and open communication - The mirroring technique that makes people reveal far more than they intended - Calibrated questions that hand over the feeling of control while keeping the negotiation on track - How to detect deception, identify hidden players, and read the forces shaping a negotiation from outside the room - The psychology of anchoring—and how the first number sets a gravitational field that most negotiators never escape - Why personal negotiations—salary, family, friendship—are the hardest of all, and how to approach them without losing the relationship - What culture and digital communication do to the signals we send and receive—and how to compensate - A complete daily practice system for building real negotiation skill through deliberate, low-stakes repetition
  Never Concede is not a collection of clever tricks. It is a rigorous, research-grounded manual for becoming the kind of negotiator people trust, engage with, and ultimately move toward. Whether you are navigating a business acquisition, a difficult employee, a family inheritance, or a moment of genuine crisis, the tools in this book will change what you are able to hear—and what becomes possible as a result.

  Mission to Mao - US Intelligence...

  From 1941 to 1947, the United States planted a liaison mission in the headquarters of Chinese Communist forces behind the lines. Nicknamed the "Dixie Mission," for its location in "rebel" territory, it was an interagency delegation that included intelligence officers from the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). 
   
   
   
  Mission to Mao is a social history of the OSS officers in the field that reveals the weakness of United States intelligence diplomacy in the 1940s. Drawing on over 14,000 unpublished records from five archives as well as white papers and memoirs from the participants, Sara B. Castro demonstrates how the OSS officers clashed with political appointees and Washington over the direction of the United States relationship with the Chinese Communists. Initially, the OSS officers were sent to gather intelligence that would help the war effort against Japan, but interagency and political conflicts erupted over whether the mission would later involve operations with the Communists. Castro shows how potential benefits for the war effort were thwarted by politicization and the OSS officers' own biases and blind spots. 
   
   
   
  Mission to Mao is a fresh look at United States intelligence in World War II China and takes listeners beyond the history of "China hands" versus American anticommunists, introducing more nuance.
