Ask For It (Abridged): How Women Can Use the Power of Negotiation to Get What They Really Want Audiobook

" I thought this was a well written book and found it to be informative in the fact to ask for certain things outside of the work place that I would have never thought of to do before. Also , I believe it was very helpful to see that men tend to negotiate more for their salary than women do. "

" Very useful - it's amazing how hard it is to just ask for what I want, instead of trying to play nice, or assuming that since I maybe won't get something there's no point in asking. "

" Women need to read this before they go into a negotiation. It may give you the courage to ask. In fact, you may learn to ask for the everyday things in life. Easy read. "

" Women need to ask for what they want. Okay I got it "

" I found this book very helpful. I will definitely re-read this. "

" Contains a lot of info from sociological studies which reveal that women really do ask for less. I'm already asking for more small things, and getting most of them. "

" Great book with insightful information. "

" A lot of this isn't really anything new when it comes to techniques, etc.... But it does have a "you know what to do now - so go for it!" feel that is inspiring. "

" Still didn't offer the advice I was hoping for... "

" A really useful, practical guide to negotiation for women. Easy to read with lots of helpful encouragement. "

" I realized half way through that I had read this before, probably during my last round of unemployment. "

" Practical and helpful, something every woman (and some men) should read before starting out in the working world (or at least read it before doing any major negotiating). A confidence builder. "

" Good book about where you could be vs. where you are because women don't practice the skill of negotiation. Men seem born asking for more. Also includes practice scenarios so you can put these tips into play. Bottom line? Research. Plan. Practice. Then go out and do it!! "

" self-advocacy advice for women. a great and fast (though emotionally intense!) read. where "women don't ask" is more gender study and sociology, "ask for it" it more negotiation how-to. "

" Boring Book. It is Full of examples of successful women that are unknown, and no proof of that! I think the writer just wants to full the papers with examples that are almost too idealistic to be true! "

" If I had money to give this to every graduating woman I have every year, I would do it in a heartbeat. "

" Everyone should read this book, especially women. Period. "

" Ooooh! We were holding steady at 4 stars, despite the overly shiny-happy attitude, and then blammo, we pulled up hard in the "likability" chapter. Which made my head spin around, just like in the exorcist. "

" I thought this book was very helpful in my recent job negotiation. While I didn't get EVERYTHING I wanted, I got most of it, and that's more than I would have gotten if I hadn't gotten the motivation to ask in the first place! "

" Heavy on "examples from real life", no meat; conversational and flaky. Why do women business writers tend to do this? Very disappointing. "
