Bestselling author Mary Roach explores the science of keeping human beings intact, awake, sane, uninfected, and uninfested in the bizarre and extreme circumstances of war.
Grunt, our favorite prehistoric caveman, has risen to become chief of the tribe, with an expectation that he will be a great leader of his people. However, like most people, Grunt hates the idea of public speaking. But with the guidance of his colleague, Tork, he quickly becomes a competent and convincing speaker and presenter. In this practical book, spiced with humor of the pre and post-historic kind, Grunt learns that you win with arrows, not bullets. You win by pointing the audience clearly in the right direction, not by hitting them with random and confusing 'bullet point' statements.
If you thought negotiating deals and agreements is tough in today's business environment, then you should try doing so in prehistoric times! This book follows our two cavemen characters, Tork and Grunt, in their quest to ensure the survival of their tribe. Through the experiences of our two cavemen, you will learn everything you need to conduct a successful negotiation and reaching a win-win outcome. They show how conventional bargaining from opposing positions generally fails to reach a satisfactory conclusion and how it is important to identify all the issues affecting both parties.
