How to Win Every Argument

Summary

Madsen Pirie builds upon his book to using - and indeed abusing - logic in order to win arguments. Included are new chapters on how to win arguments in writing, in the pub, with a friend, on Facebook, and in 140 characters (on Twitter). Pirie provides the complete guide to triumphing in altercations ranging from the everyday to the downright serious. He identifies, with devastating examples, all the most common fallacies popularly used in argument. We all like to think of ourselves as clear-headed and logical - but all listeners will find in this book fallacies of which they themselves are guilty.  The author shows you how to simultaneously strengthen your own thinking and identify the weaknesses in other people arguments. And, more mischievously, Pirie also shows how to be deliberately illogical - and get away with it. This audiobook will make you maddeningly smart. Your family, friends, and opponents will all wish that you had never listened to it. Publisher's warning: In the wrong hands, this audiobook is dangerous. We recommend that you arm yourself with it, whilst keeping it out of reach of others. Only recommend this book if you are sure that you can trust the person.
