I read some of the stuff on this list but having someone recommend Donald Trump sets off alarm bells. But I am willing to be proven wrong. Anyone else concur with the selection of Art of the Deal?

IMO, your alarm bells are justified.

In addition, doesn't it seem a little strange that a post about what they didn't teach you in school has "Required Reading" lists?

What are the good books on negotiation?

I previewed the Trump book and it looked like most stories and musings more than technical explanation.

I've seen Nivi from VentureHacks mention "Bargaining for Advantage" a couple of times - more notable occasion was as this book review: http://venturehacks.com/articles/bargaining-for-advantage

It's quite high up on my current list of "Books to read".

Maybe because those things are taught better from life?
