"Conflict brings out truth, creativity, and resolution."

"Negotiate in their world. Persuasion is not about how bright or smooth or forceful you are. It’s about the other party convincing themselves that the solution you want is their own idea. So don’t beat them with logic or brute force. Ask them questions that open paths to your goals. It’s not about you."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"If you approach a negotiation thinking the other guy thinks like you, you are wrong. That's not empathy, that's a projection."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"The beauty of empathy is that it doesn’t demand that you agree with the other person’s ideas."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"Hope is not a strategy."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"Negotiation is not an act of battle; it’s a process of discovery. The goal is to uncover as much information as possible."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"Mirrors work magic. Repeat the last three words (or the critical one to three words) of what someone has just said. We fear what’s different and are drawn to what’s similar. Mirroring is the art of insinuating similarity, which facilitates bonding. Use mirrors to encourage the other side to empathize and bond with you, keep people talking, buy your side time to regroup, and encourage your counterparts to reveal their strategy."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference

"The best way to deal with negativity is to observe it, without reaction and without judgment. Then consciously label each negative feeling and replace it with positive, compassionate, and solution-based thoughts."

"This is listening as a martial art, balancing the subtle behaviors of emotional intelligence and the assertive skills of influence, to gain access to the mind of another person. Contrary to popular opinion, listening is not a passive activity. It is the most active thing you can do."

- Chris Voss, Never Split the Difference
