For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.

Full of stories but difficult to make practical
I enjoyed the voice of the narrator of this audiobook, but found the content was not very helpful. There are a lot of very in-depth examples from the author’s work as a hostage negotiator. Unfortunately, the practical application of these into specific strategies and transferable everyday situations is rather limited. I listened to this book to help me prepare for a salary negotiation and after several hours of listening did not feel that I had any particular strategies to apply.

Revolutionary for my life
From changing the way I talk to my partner, turning a usual argument into a loving exchange. To getting me everything I have ever wanted and avoiding the wimp deal where I just accept what I am offered.
This book is changing me life. I have listened to it and bought the hard copy and turned it into a complete system for every conversation I have.

changed my life
ever feel you are always obliged to answer something? or always feel like you always get a bad deal and think back later and ask yourself "i wish i said that!"?
This is the book for you. The idea of speech mirrors, emotional labels combined with calibrated questions has allowed me to understand how people use language in order to influence perspectives and always make sure i get the answers to my assumptions.

Solid book, probably better on paper
The first few moments of the book feel a bit off, but it's worth waiting. After the initial sales pitch of his methods, the author gives what seems to be a rather sensible, if dramatic, list of techniques to get the most out of negotiations. It is not life changing, and a bit confusing at times, but definitely will teach you a few things. Performance itself was great, no issues there. Unfortunately, the nature of this kind of book is that I'd always prefer a physical copy to refer to afterwards.

Some gems to try in negotiations
There are undoubtedly some great tidbits of advice for negotiation strategies to be found in this book and overall I thought it was a useful, fairly easy listen. I do wish that there had been more shared on the science behind the tactics as you just get a touch of that and have to believe that there is much more to it.

Superbly conceived book that's a practical guide
This is one of the best books that I have ever come across on the subject of negotiation. I am generally predisposed to not negotiating at all or well or giving in easily to other negotiators (tough or even not so tough ones). This book changed the way I think about negotiating by making it a game that I can look forward to whenever I have to negotiate. Moreover, we negotiate almost everyday in every other activity we undertake. This book therefore assumes enormous significance. I wish I'd gone through this book earlier. It would have made a big difference to me. The highlights of the book are various simple tools to help one negotiate much better. These are embellished by real life examples, some of them done step by step to back up the tools. I started using the techniques as I was reading the book and found them to be effective. A great read/listen for someone who'd like to up his/her negotiating skills.

Great Negotiating Tactics
Really useful set of negotiating frameworks backed up with stories.
Could have gone into more depth on some of the points eg what if someone counters with the same approach you are using, or to have the negotiations from a sell side as well as a buy side.
If there was a model, or set of questions that helped with ‘Black Swans’ that would also have been useful. That said, it did recommend other books/ authors for that.
I’ll certainly be using the methods from this book in all of my negotiations moving forward. This title will have paid for itself many thousands of times over with the extra value I’ll get from my sales activity. Well worth the listen!!!
