Talk:Getting to YES

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Not a self help book

It is absurd to say this is a self-help or personal development book, its a classic textbook about negotiating. It was required reading at business school. You might as well say any qualative business textbook is a self-help or personal development book. And I would like to erase the several-times-repeated phrase "Getting to YES highlights:" but couldnt be bothered. By far the most important point the book makes is about having a good BATNA, but this is only barely mentioned as a miscellaneous item in the article. Maybe the person who wrote the article has only looked at the contents pages and has not read the book? In fact now I think of it, I think the article could be more or less simply a copy of the contents pages (maybe the blurb was copied off the back cover also). Removed the Sequals... section as it was just like the advertising blurb on the back of a pop paperback. Also removed the red link to a non-notable book (unfortunately for every good business textbook there are at least 100 rubbish ones). 80.2.202.35 (talk) 18:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

this article actually really looks like an ad for the book. anyone considering adding an appropriate quality-template? --borp (talk) 10:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
