Never Split the Difference – the only negotiation book that reads like a thriller Life is communication… and what is communication but negotiation. We negotiate when buying a car or apartment, employment conditions, asking for a raise, establishing emotional relationships… The thing is, if we’re honest, we don’t know how to communicate at all….
You know, I truly adore Haruki Murakami. Really, I do. I love his writing style, how you need to “push through” the first 20 or so pages of each of his books, how his characters are so imperfect, how each book, in its own way, tries to touch upon the meaning of life, whether…

For many today this term is probably known because of video games like “PUBG,” “Fortnite” or “Apex Legends.” For some it’s probably known because of the eponymous cult Japanese…
The Catch “Peace is the time when sons bury fathers, war is the time when fathers bury sons” – Herodotus Kenzaburo Oe is a very interesting figure.
