It's rare that a book is so gripping and entertaining while still being actionable and applicable, especially with business books. Every few pages I read, I found myself writing down negotiation tips and ideas I wanted to test with our sales team and clients.

Every so often, you read a book that becomes a part of you. For some, it's a childhood-defining series like Harry Potter. Others find themselves in poetry or memoirs. My recent pivotal read was Chris Voss's Never Split the Difference . . . He showed me the importance of selling solutions to customers' problems rather than simply features. Along the way, he refined my communication style in everything from high-stakes negotiations to cold emails.
