Very easy read. Great examples. Very pertinent information that is often overlooked or never considered. Will probably read again in the future.

This book is an excellent read for anyone who is willing to understand the basic concepts involved in business management. Negotiate Like a CEO written by Jotham S. Stein is an excellent point of departure for considering the adventure of starting a business. It also explains how to protect ourselves while we develop our project and run our business.This is a very well-written book. I am certainly not an expert in business and finance; however, I enjoyed it and found it simple. The author has put together his knowledge of the subject and his ability to explain complex notions in a very easy way to grasp and has come with a work that is both inspiring and helpful. The writing style and the importance of the advice provided here invite readers to read it several times or just to go back and look for those concepts that we found interesting or that we need at a particular moment.

Jotham S. Stein is a brilliant and extremely knowledgeable expert when it comes to business practices and business law. His bio is so impressive, diverse, and accomplished as it lists an extensive lists of courts he practices in, types of clients, professional experience, and accolades. He is the man you want to write the book on how to protect your family, friends, and self in the dog eat world of business. And thankfully he has written the book, with his second book entitled Negotiate Like a CEO: How to Get Ahead with Lessons Learned From Top Entrepreneurs and Executives.I love this book for so many reason. One of which is Stein's writing style. It is written in a very approachable, even witty, straight forward yet detailed and understandable way. He introduces a lot of lawyer/business lingo, but always explains. He doesn’t belabor points or diverge down small caveats and distracting details. However, his writing is a perfect balance of thorough and approachable.I also love that he writes for such a huge audience. He really has important knowledge to share with people all over the business and contract world. He reaches to the top CEOs and the low man on the pole. He doesn’t just cover huge business contracts and the most elite, he also covers topics and more relatable information for situations that everyone will find themselves in at some point. Our world functions on contracts and Stein takes the time and expert knowledge he has to break it all down and teach us how to be confident in our knowledge so we can then be bold and courageous in our lives when it comes these situations.Also, I loved the format he has set up to explain and teach. He uses fictional situations that are based on real life scenarios to help the reader understand the information as well as apply it when necessary. Most people learn through examples and the situations and short vignettes he uses is the perfect tool to make this information accessible and understandable for everyone regardless of their previous knowledge or background. Also, the end of each chapter is studded with key points and specific tips to help the reader remember the main ideas.I am so glad I picked up this book and think everyone needs a copy on their bookshelf or kindle, regardless of their line of work or station in life. The knowledge and confidence this book imparts is priceless.

This book is full of good info and advice for those wanting to learn how to negotiate and protect themselves when it comes to employment.  It's a jumble of ideas, stories, tips and tricks for how to fight for yourself and make the best of your employment situation. It's written in a casual style that's sort of messy and all over the place.Though the author says this book is written for everyone, I'm not sure that people who aren't founder / entrepreneurs or higher-level corporate jobs are going to be worried about most of the things that are on the negotiating table in the scenarios described in this book. So, I think this would be a good book for upper-level corporate employees and founder/entrepreneurs who are looking for casual and encouraging advice on how to protect themselves.
