 Great Complement to Getting to Yes May 22, 2001
6 out of 10 found this review helpful
Getting Together builds on the foundation of Getting to Yes by outlining a framework to build relationships while negotiating. This is a must read for all business people and a good addition to Getting to Yes. It does not read as smoothly as Getting to Yes, but the information is equally valuable.
 The Weakest of the Series March 7, 2001

The folks at the Harvard Negotiation Project have produced a lot of books. I have found this volume the least satisfying of their works.Perhaps this is because _Getting to Yes_ and _Getting Past No_ are so amazingly good that the level of analysis simply wasn't sustainable for a third book. Or perhaps it's I personally tend to think by analogy and had already started applying the concepts in the first two books to non-business settings. In any event, I found the concepts obvious and the discussions banal. The quality of the later books seems to return to the same high level as GTY and GPN. For example, _Difficult Conversations_, though not strictly a book "about negotiation," is very fine, although not as easy a read as the other two. Bottom line? Useful if you haven't figured out on your own how to apply the concepts of principled negotiation to your personal life. Otherwise, skip it.

This book helps people understand each other, and build relationships based on trust. I work in open adoption. To me, this book is taylor made for those relationships.
