Never Settle: The Ultimate Guide to Negotiation and Persuasion

The definitive guide to transforming everyday interactions into remarkable wins, from Harvard Law, MIT, and University of Michigan’s negotiation experts.

What if you could walk away from every conversation with exactly what you want?

At work, at home, and in our daily interactions, our lives are full of constant negotiation:

• Trying to score a promotion at work
• Changing an airline flight
• Even getting our spouse to take out the trash

But, while we like to think we know how to get our way, too many of us struggle to capture what we know we deserve.

In Never Settle, renowned negotiation experts Attia Qureshi and John Richardson move beyond the basic theory of persuasion to help you learn these invaluable skills to get more in every aspect of your life.

Drawing from decades of experience teaching at elite institutions and incorporating insights they’ve culled from FBI negotiation tactics, they offer readers groundbreaking, actionable strategies to negotiate with confidence and achieve extraordinary results, no matter the circumstances.

With easy-to-follow, habit-building exercises, this revolutionary guide reveals how you can build trust through reciprocity, get more through a strategic no, and craft win-win outcomes using creative problem-solving.

Accessible and empowering, Never Settle equips you with the techniques you need to unlock the best deal, without settling for anything less.
