This is the standard b-school textbook for negotiations class. Very good. To be clear and in response to other comment, you can't expect everybody to be rational. In my first mock negotiation in that class I got completely hosed. Tur

I just quit a $1M a year job at 45 years old, moved out of the city into the country, am working to bootstrap something from scratch, and am the happiest I've ever been. (That said, I'm one week into my "retirement", so

This is not an "article," it is an opinion piece, published in the opinion section of the Times. An opinion piece is kind of like a Medium post- the view of an author with a clear point of view. Often explicitly by someone in the

What are best options for low cost self study version of these bootcamps? I'm basically retired at 44, live outside of a city, and have time and motivation but need serious instruction. I don't need the employment finding part of

Yes but if you have the intestinal fortitude to check out of those pissing contests you can really create your own life. That is, if you are lucky enough to be at level to start. I did note that many of my peers where COMPLETELY freaked out
