Getting to Yes: Negotiating Agreement Without Giving In by Roger Fisher
3.0
Me: Say, old chap, you must read this book. It's for class!
Also me: [talks very quietly]
Me: [leans in, talking quieter]
Also me: Ah, I see you are well versed in the art of negotiation. Well, I'm not inclined to do the reading.
Me: We're both men of principle, Emily. This isn't a matter of inclination, but one of commitment and following through. You signed up for this class.
Also me: Perhaps, Emily. But the time I spend reading this will certainly be better spent binging Netflix or attempting to cultivate a long-lost hobby, no?
Me: It sounds like you value enjoying your pursuits of knowledge. Would you agree?
Also me: Sure.
Me: Well, that's something we have in common, trusted friend. Why not read the book with the purpose of writing a silly review on Goodreads? Would that make the situation more enjoyable?
Also me: Sure, but what would that even look like?
