You Can Negotiate Anything: The World’S Best Negotiator Tells You How To Get What You Want

This is the book I needed without knowing I needed it. Herb Cohen's voice is warm and direct and never preachy — they seem to understand that nobody wants to be lectured, they want to be helped. The strategies here are realistic and the results, for me at least, have been real. Highly recommended.

What I love about You Can Negotiate Anything: the World’s Best Negotiator Tells You How to Get What You Want is how honest it is about the fact that change is difficult. Herb Cohen doesn't promise overnight transformation — they offer something much more valuable, which is a thoughtful, evidence-backed framework for genuine growth. I've re-read two chapters already and plan to work through the whole book again.

Picked this up during a difficult period and it genuinely helped. Not in a fluffy, feel-good way but in a practical, here-is-how-to-think-about-this way. Herb Cohen is clear, compassionate and credible. The kind of book you want to press into the hands of people you care about.

I bought this expecting reasonable but fairly standard advice and got something much better. Herb Cohen challenges assumptions you didn't even know you were making, and the result is a book that leaves you seeing your own patterns very differently. One of the most genuinely useful books I've come across in years.

I've read a lot of self-help books and most of them repeat the same ten ideas in different clothing. This one is genuinely different. Herb Cohen brings fresh thinking and real intellectual honesty to the subject, and the practical guidance is both original and immediately actionable. Proper five-star material.
