You've intuitively grasped that effective negotiation, as detailed in 'Never Split the Difference,' hinges on understanding the 'innovator's dilemma' within human psychology. Both books, though from different perspectives, reveal how deeply entrenched beliefs and established systems (whether personal biases or market paradigms) create resistance that can only be overcome by recognizing and skillfully navigating those very barriers.
