If you’re like most people, you probably don’t like the idea of negotiation. It may bring up images of heated arguments or underhanded schemes. But by not taking this step, you’re missing out on better deals, better opportunities, and better outcomes for yourself and the people you care about. Negotiation is simply a focused discussion that aims to bridge differences and find a mutually beneficial outcome. And unlike what you see in the movies, negotiating doesn’t have to be an all-out war.

Often, we may encounter unpleasant relatives who drain our energy by bringing negativity and sabotage to our moments of joy, plans, or life perspective. But there is always a reason behind their attitudes which we will dig into here. Plus, you will understand how these relatives affect your life. As you go through this book, you will be able to wisely bring closure, not to those toxic relationships but to your frustration, and give yourself the space to love those family members from a fair distance without disrespect or harmful conflicts.
