Tahl Raz

Tahl Raz is a New York Times bestselling author and award-winning journalist. As a leading non-fiction collaborator, he strives for vivid storytelling that illuminates essential, life-changing ideas.

His most recent work, Never Split The Difference, is the nation’s bestselling book on negotiation over a year after its debut, ousting the book (Getting To Yes) that had dominated the category for over twenty years. Working with the former lead hostage negotiator for the FBI, the book takes you inside the world of high-stakes international kidnapping to reveal how the FBI developed a new field-tested system that's proven more effective than the old approaches — whether in the boardroom or at home.

Early in his career, Tahl was recognized as one of America’s top 30 business journalists under 30. His article, The 10 Secrets of a Master Networker, led to the New York Times bestseller, Never Eat Alone. The book is still in hardcover over a decade later and is now used as a textbook in MBA programs around the world.

Forthcoming are two books set to be published in 2018 by Random House Currency: The CEO Next Door is based on a decade-long analysis of the world’s most coveted leadership database. The groundbreaking research was the featured cover story in the May-June 2017 issue of Harvard Business Review. Imagine It Forward is both a deeply personal memoir of Beth Comstock’s dramatic rise as one of the most powerful women in business and a field manual for mastering the art and science of innovation.

He has held roles as a Chief Content Officer, CEO of an online B2B education company, and founder of Jewcy Media - a multichannel brand including an online magazine, events, off-broadway theatre, and merchandise.

Tahl has a degree in Philosophy from Vassar College. He lives in New York City with his wife and two daughters.
