Gerard Irwin Nierenberg


Gerard Irwin Nierenberg b. 1923

Gerard Nierenberg was an American lawyer, author, and expert in negotiation and communication strategy. He founded the Negotiation Institute, and wrote twenty-three books on the subjects of negotiation, communication and effective sales techniques. Amongst his titles was a bestselling work on body language written with Henry Calero. Nierenberg’s proven techniques for gaining control of negotiations and detecting lies are presented in an accessible manner together with a guide to recognising signals of affection and sexual attraction, and advice on gaining command of business and social situations. Nierenberg believed that we often ignore the information available from others’ gestures, feedback that should lead us to act in order to bring about a desired change in results.
