Sagt om boken"Ingen annan bok har fått sådant genomslag på sättet att förhandla (som DENNA BOK)" NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR DISPUTE RESOLUTION FORUM.

"Vägen till Ja är kraftfull, skarp, övertygande. 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.
