Abstract

None of us just leads or even makes a life. It’s far more accurate to say that we negotiate our lives. For each of us, whether housed in a condo on the East Side of New York City or sheltered in a hut on the African savannah, living is a constant negotiation, a continual process of daily deal making in an effort to navigate whatever existence we have been given. From our birth until our final moments, we negotiate our lives as best we can, making trade-offs and compromises for stakes big and small. If you were to track your daily activities from the time you get out of bed in the morning until you get back into it at night, you would be astonished at the number, complexity, and diversity of the deals you are constantly making in so short a time. Each of us engages in deal making and diplomacy every day. We are all daily deal makers and diplomats. Sometimes we negotiate our own deals; sometimes we have others do it for us. Often we negotiate for other people.
