William Ury

The author of the world’s best-selling book on negotiation draws on his nearly fifty years of experience and knowledge grappling with the world’s toughest conflicts to offer a way out of the seemingly impossible problems of our time. Conflict is increasing everywhere, threatening everything we hold dear—from our families to our democracy, from our workplaces to our world. In nearly every area of society, we are fighting more and collaborating less, especially over crucial problems that demand solutions. With this groundbreaking book, bestselling author and international negotiator William Ury shares a new “path to possible”—time-tested practices that will help readers unlock their power to constructively engage and transform conflict. Part memoir, part manual, part manifesto, Possible offers stories and sage advice from Ury’s nearly 50 years of experience on the front lines of some of the world’s toughest conflicts. One of the world’s top experts in the field, Ury has worked on conflicts ranging from boardroom battles to labor strikes, from the US partisan divide to family feuds, from wars in the Middle East, Colombia and Ukraine to helping the US and USSR avoid nuclear disaster. Now, in Possible, he helps us tackle the seemingly intransigent problems facing us. In Possible, Ury argues conflict is natural. In fact, we need more conflict, not less—if we are to grow, change, evolve and solve our problems creatively. While we may not be able to end conflict, we can transform it—unleashing new, unexpected possibilities. Successfully tested at Harvard University with almost a thousand participants from business, government, academia, and the nonprofit sector, Ury’s “Path to Possible” proved so valuable that Harvard’s Program on Negotiation selected it as its inaugural online daylong in April 2022. Possible introduces Ury’s methods and makes them available for everyone. Combining accessible frameworks and powerful storytelling and offering dozens of examples, it is an essential guide for anyone looking to break through the toughest conflicts—in their workplace, family, community or the world.

William Ury, coauthor of the international bestseller Getting to Yes, returns with another groundbreaking book, this time asking: how can we expect to get to yes with others if we haven't first gotten to yes with ourselves? Renowned negotiation expert William Ury has taught tens of thousands of people from all walks of life--managers, lawyers, factory workers, coal miners, schoolteachers, diplomats, and government officials--how to become better negotiators. Over the years, Ury has discovered that the greatest obstacle to successful agreements and satisfying relationships is not the other side, as difficult as they can be. The biggest obstacle is actually our own selves--our natural tendency to react in ways that do not serve our true interests. But this obstacle can also become our biggest opportunity, Ury argues. If we learn to understand and influence ourselves first, we lay the groundwork for understanding and influencing others. In this prequel to Getting to Yes, Ury offers a seven-step method to help you reach agreement with yourself first, dramatically improving your ability to negotiate with others. Practical and effective, Getting to Yes with Yourself helps readers reach good agreements with others, develop healthy relationships, make their businesses more productive, and live far more satisfying lives.

Inte en massa tricks utan ett helhetsgrepp. Kanske den mest användbara boken du kommer att läsa!" ELLIOT RICHARDSON." Att förhandla är en konst. Denna bok vill visa hur de flesta konflikter kan omvandlas till godtagbara uppgörelser för båda parter och menar att bara mycket få konflikter är omöjliga att lösa. Boken tar upp alla möjliga vägar, knep inkluderade, att lösa en konflikt, liten som stor, och redovisar noga fallgropar och hinder. Exemplen är många, såväl från avgörande internationella förhandlingar (ex. Camp Davis-avtalet) till vardagliga uppgörelser som skilsmässor, hyrestvister och liknande. Bokens amerikanska ursprung visar sig framförallt i valet av exempel, men dess innehåll är generellt användbart baserat på parternas intressen, ståndpunkter och en stor dos psykologi. Grundbudskapet är: fokusera på fakta för att förmå motparten att säga ”Ja”. Slutkapitlet är en sammanfattning, för en tveksam läsare kan det vara ingången till att läsa hela den ganska ordrika men lättlästa texten. [...]" Uno Nilsson, lektör, BTJ-häftet nr 18, 2015.
