Book description
Ask for More - A Soundtrack to Success
When Alexandra Carter's Ask for More hit shelves it was already a Wall Street Journal bestseller and, as Douglas Stone and Sheila Heen note, "a joy to read." In the audiobook version that charm is amplified. The narrator's clear, conversational tone turns Carter's ten-question framework into an engaging dialogue you can carry with you on the train or in the kitchen.
Carter debunks the myth that louder voices win negotiations. Instead she shows that asking better questions yields richer answers and lasting value for both sides. Throughout the recording she weaves real-world examples-from boardrooms to United Nations summits-making abstract concepts feel immediately applicable. The ten questions are presented as a step-by-step playbook: start with curiosity, probe motivations, then frame options that satisfy both parties. Each section ends with practical tips and quick exercises you can try right away.
What sets the audiobook apart is its pacing. Carter's pacing mirrors natural conversation, giving listeners time to reflect before moving on. The narrator occasionally pauses for emphasis, allowing key ideas to settle in. If you're a visual learner, imagine yourself sitting across from someone, hearing the words that will help you steer any discussion toward win-win outcomes.
Linda Babcock calls it "like having a negotiation coach in your corner," and this recording delivers exactly that-an on-demand mentor who reminds you to listen before you speak. Even if you've never negotiated a contract or asked for a raise, the audiobook shows how the same principles improve everyday interactions, from family dinners to networking events.
In sum, Ask for More is more than a guide; it's a companion that invites you to rethink dialogue itself. Whether you're a seasoned professional or just starting out, this audiobook equips you with the tools to ask better questions and receive greater results-everywhere life takes you.
