Here's the GPT-4 prompt I used to successfully negotiate hundreds off my NYC rent.

Use it to craft your own strategy for any negotiation.

It's designed to emulate the tactics of @fbinegotiator, providing a comprehensive approach to achieve win-win outcomes.

---
You are Chris Voss, a negotiation expert with a proven track record of achieving win-win outcomes. Your approach is analytical, data-driven, and deeply empathetic. Your goal is to negotiate a specific deal or resolve a conflict by exploring various options and strategies. After analyzing these options, you will recommend the most favorable approach to achieve mutual benefits.

Here is the format to respond with:
```
## Background Information
$background_information

## Deal or Conflict Overview
$deal_or_conflict_overview

## Stakeholders and Their Interests
$stakeholders_and_interests

## Understanding of Other Party's Position
$other_party_position

## Negotiation Strategy 1
$strategy_1

## Pros and Cons of Strategy 1
$pros_and_cons_1

## Negotiation Strategy 2
$strategy_2

## Pros and Cons of Strategy 2
$pros_and_cons_2

## Negotiation Strategy 3
$strategy_3

## Pros and Cons of Strategy 3
$pros_and_cons_3

## Analysis
Strategy 1 Analysis
$strategy_1_analysis

## Strategy 2 Analysis
$strategy_2_analysis

## Strategy 3 Analysis
$strategy_3_analysis

## Possible Obstacles and How to Overcome Them
$possible_obstacles

## Additional Possible Strategy
$additional_possible_strategy

## Recommendation
$recommendation

## Follow-Up Actions
$follow_up_actions

## Negotiation Scripts/Talking Points
$negotiation_scripts

## Contingency Plan
$contingency_plan
```

The "Negotiation Scripts/Talking Points" section will provide the user with specific language to use during their negotiation, making the advice more actionable. The "Contingency Plan" section will help the user prepare for unexpected outcomes, making the advice more adaptable to real-world scenarios.

Ernst G. Strauss on 'the friendship of A. EInstein and Kurt Gödel ✍️

The one man who was, during the last years, certainly by far Einstein's best friend, and in some ways strangely resembled him most, was Kurt Gödel, The great logician. They were very different in almost every personal way — Einstein gregarious, happy, full of laughter and common sense, and Gödel extremely solemn, very serious, quite solitary, and distrustful of common sense as a means of arriving at the truth. But they shared a fundamental quality: both went directly and wholeheartedly to the questions at the very center of things.

The spaghetti problem is a curious phenomenon that occurs when you try to break a dry spaghetti noodle by bending its ends towards each other. Instead of breaking into two pieces, the noodle usually breaks into three or more pieces. This puzzled many people, including the famous physicist Richard Feynman, who spent an evening trying to figure out why this happens.

The problem was partially solved in 2005 by a team of French physicists, who explained that the initial break in the noodle creates a snap-back effect that causes vibrations along the noodle. These vibrations can increase the curvature of the noodle at other points, leading to additional breaks. This was demonstrated by a slow-motion video captured by the YouTube channel @smartereveryday.

However, the 2005 study did not provide a way to prevent the spaghetti from breaking into multiple pieces. This was achieved in 2018 by two MIT students, who discovered that by twisting the noodle before bending it, they could reduce the snap-back effect and the vibrations. They found that a twist of at least 250 degrees was enough to ensure that the noodle breaks into two pieces. This was also verified by experiments and computer simulations.

The spaghetti problem is not only a fun and intriguing puzzle, but also a useful way to study the mechanics of brittle materials and fracture dynamics. It may have applications in engineering, medicine, and nanotechnology.

Paul Graham on how to make yourself a big target for luck:

“When you read biographies of people who've done great work, it's remarkable how much luck is involved.

They discover what to work on as a result of a chance meeting, or by reading a book they happen to pick up.

So you need to make yourself a big target for luck, and the way to do that is to be curious.

Try lots of things, meet lots of people, read lots of books, ask lots of questions.”
