I've been a mother for 18 years. I've been married for 20. I'm constantly negotiating myself out of difficult situations in order to save myself from collateral damage. I'm the one who will suffer the most if I don't negotiate carefully. The trick, I've learned over the past 18 years, is in the give and take. Mostly in your willingness to surrender more give and take less.
I love this book, and have suggested it and given it away to many friends. Be sure to read the second one, too...
