Listen "Getting to Yes With Yourself"
Episode Synopsis
William Ury's Getting to Yes with Yourself details a six-step method for achieving inner peace and improving negotiation skills. The core principle is to prioritize self-understanding and acceptance before attempting to influence others, transforming oneself from an opponent into an ally. The six steps involve self-reflection, identifying underlying needs, reframing perspectives, accepting current circumstances, showing respect even to adversaries, and prioritizing giving over taking. Real-life examples, ranging from business disputes to international conflicts, illustrate how this approach leads to more constructive outcomes and ultimately, a win-win-win scenario for all involved. The book aims to empower readers to improve their lives by cultivating inner satisfaction and transforming their relationships.
