I tried using some of the techniques yesterday with a customer service agent but I botched it badly. Still, good practice and I know what I did wrong for next time.pawz said:

I just got done reading this too. Thank you @pawz. I appreciated how Voss acknowledged (unlike most business books) that there *is* quite a bit of emotion involved in negotiating. I almost wish we could do this as a book club selection.GrundleStiltzkin said:@pawz recommended this book somewheres, maybe the late @creepycoug's shitty bored. Anyhow, really good, thanks.
But I so far have had a 100% success rate with the “Are you giving up on x?” email.
My favorite is offering someone the opportunity to say 'no'. Especially when they are 50/50 on doing something, they usually capitulate.

It's embarrassing it took me to the 3rd ellipses post to catch on. For shame.

Alright, before the thread is killed—on deadline—I'll cut the malarkey because I've run out of it.
Anyone can fire up a book clerb thread. Last (only?) one kinda thudded a little, which is fine. It was a great book, and some good discussion both in the thread, and via PMs.
And @pawz that book was teh tehts, thanks again. I'm going to order a paperback copy, there's a lot I'd like to reference back to, and audiobook just ain't so good at that. -

TBH, I'm not sure I've read the book all the way through, however I've listened to it on audio, and probably listened a couple hundred hours of CV on youtube.

I’d taken a break from military memoirs for a bit.
A Million Steps. Good, straightforward account of a Marine battalion in Afghanistan, written by a Vietnam vet turned writer.

Into the Fire. By Dakota Meyer, MoH winner, been a guest on Jocko & Rogan pods multiple times. Ex-son-in-law of Sarah Palin.

The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/11324722-the-righteous-mind
If Iº were to do another book clerb, I think this would be the book. However, since we do not deal in hypotheticals, I'll give my own little report.
This book is relatively low on engagement, or rather, engrossing. I wasn't itching to pick it back up every time. It's rather weighty and perhaps not best suited for audiobook.
However, informative and challenging.
The author claims to have been a standard issue proggies prior to working on this subject. Now he says he's more independent minded.
The basis of the book are his moral foundations theory, consisting of 6 factors.- Care v. Harm
- Liberty v. Oppression
- Fairness v. Cheating
- Loyalty v. Betrayal
- Authority v. Subversion
- Sanctity v. Degradation
Eh, I'm already out of steam on this one.
I did not see the reviews on GoodReads prior to reading. Some progressives kinda butt hurt there. - Care v. Harm

Relentless Strike
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/24019181-relentless-strike
A political and operational history of Joint Special Operations Command. Really good book. It starts with, naturally, the creation of JSOC following Operation Eagle Claw. After the first-third of book or so, kicks into military pr0n describing operations. Big chunk of book covers Iraq & Afghanistan. One of the most notable things for me is that this is most I've everreadlistened about Delta Force, the D Boys if you will. The SEALs got most of the free pub.
On a scale of 1 = I hate America and 10 = Ooorah!, this book probably comes in around 5.5 - 6. It's gracious to frontline individuals but unafraid to criticism leadership, strategy and certain tactics.
-
One Bullet Away
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/116478.One_Bullet_Away
Memoir by Nathaniel Fick, the featured lieutenant from Generation Kill. Good, quick read. Fills in what that group did in Afghanistan, which is hinted at in GenK.
