Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss is a good one. It’s a book about negotiation. Your first impression upon reading that it’s about negotiation might be to assume it’s about fleecing the pants off of people, but actually there’s a lot of good advice that helps both people get what they want out of a negotiation. Pairs very well with Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, which discusses the ways that humans make decisions.

Very pleased to share an article I was asked to write for Shepherd as part of their "best books" series. If you're not already familiar with this excellent reading discovery and recommendation site, it's absolutely worth a look.
To celebrate, the Kindle edition of my featured book "Shards" will be just $0.99 on Amazon for a week starting at 11AM EST today. Additionally, "Academic Displacement," the first standalone story from "Shards" is FREE via Amazon until this Saturday, and available right now!
Please consider using the links provided in the article for any Amazon purchases to help support Shepherd's mission to promote authors and their works. Thanks! 📚🙂👍

Thanks to all those who responded to my request for science fiction reading recommendations. You've given me some good leads to follow up in the coming months and years.
-
Can you recommend some science fiction for me to read?
I haven't read much of this genre, but I will tell you a little of my likes and dislikes in what I have read so that you have a better idea of what I might enjoy:
- At the moment I am reading Philip K Dick's "A Scanner Darkly". I don't hate it, but I am not in love with the drug use and the late sixties/ early seventies hippie speak. On the other hand, the theme of surveillance has caught my attention.
- I have also enjoyed the loss . .of identity narrative in "Flow My Tears the Policeman Said" and the counterfactual history of "The Man in the High Castle"."Ubik" and "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep" both impressed me. Although I am attracted by what I hear about the religious dimension of "The Transmigration of Timothy Archer", I don't have an urge to read PKD beyond that.
- I read Stanislaw Lem's 'Solaris" some time ago but remember enjoying it.
- I absolutely hated the right wing politics of "Ender's Game". I also disliked "Stranger in a Strange Land".
- As a teenager, I found "Dune" unreadable, but did like John Wyndham.
- Science Fiction or Science fictionish films I have enjoyed include Blade Runner" , "Gattaca", 'The Truman Show"
and 'Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".- I disliked the original "Star Wars" and count myself lucky in that I have not wasted time or money on the rest of the .franchise
- I am much more interested in ideas, societies, relationships, and language than I am in whizzbang technology.
I'd be grateful for any suggestions - thanks!

Just published a Reading Recommendations post about a text I've been enjoying working through with a tutorial client, Arthur Schopenhauer's essay The Wisdom Of Life. He doesn't believe happiness is really possible . . .but he will tell you how, if it were possible, how you would best go about reaching it
