Paperback, 153 pages. How to Win an Argument. 0070232156 (ISBN13: 9780070232150). The book is very logically and appropriately laid out. I found it a bit challenging because picking apart conversations to their bare components is not something that comes naturally to me.

The purpose of this book is to teach you about good argument-how to win one and how to experience the understanding, insight, and human contact that all good arguments engender. Since very often the truth has little to do with winning or losing, the decision, even the knockout, may go to the sneakiest or slickest viewpoint, and not to the best or wisest.

Rudolph de Harak’s McGraw-Hill paperback design is considered one of his best works, where he created . Its clear with each book cover, he has tried to use simple but abstract imagery which represents the contents of the book.

Rudolph de Harak’s McGraw-Hill paperback design is considered one of his best works, where he created over 350 individual covers in 1960 for a variety of different subjects for the Educational Boo. The book cover to the left’s imagery is of two silhouettes merging together. The colour choice is also limited, as is the number of fonts used at once, there is actually only one font used throughout possibly to stop confusion, along with limited colours, about the concept of the book.

Defining an argument as any disagreement from the most polite discussion to a barroom brawl, a philosophy professor offers specific rules to follow and pitfalls to avoid in successfully defending an opinion
  • This book does three main things: First, it give you specific guidelines and advice for holding your own in an argument. Readers may be surprised that the most important skill in getting one's point across is to listen and ask questions - not "gotcha" questions - but questions that convey an honest curiosity and a desire to understand the other person's point of view. Second, Gilbert identifies those circumstances when it's best not to argue - when arguing is just a waste of time and energy. Third (the juiciest part of the book), Gilbert lists the traps and tricks that an opponent can use against you - and how to counteract these tactics. Even though I have had extensive training in persuasive communication skills, I learned a lot from this book! If you get befuddled or tongue-tied in one-on-one confrontations, this is the book for you.

  • This is a book that you can read through in a day, but most likely, you will go back and read it again and again as I have.

    Very simple and to the point, it initially explains what an argument really is and puts the topic into perspective. With questions like "what are we arguing about?" and "why argue" answered and by identifying different types of arguments, the reader is equipped with a plan to avoid falling into dead-end arguments and getting sucked into agreement which he may later regret. It is truly a helpful guide in polishing your negotiating skills whether for buying a car or negotiating with your spouse.

    I have used the techniques described within and was surprised with how simple but effective theese techniqes really are. Great book!

  • Great book. Closest to Thousless' 'Straight and Crooked Thinking' I have found. Clear, practical, usefull, good examples and educational. I have three paperback copies like the one with the red/blue/yellow jacket (best paperback version), the latest paperback version, a hardback version of the best paperback version and the ebook version.
    I was overjoyed to find it available for kindle!
    Worth reading every six months or so.

    In case you are wondering why so many copies, about 15 years ago I lent my latest copt of the Thouless work to a friend who lost it!! Now I only have the 1930's hardback! Great books should have back-up copies bought.

  • nice condition.

  • Super book

  • Good.

  • SUMMARY:
    - Informal, yet objective
    - More useful from a perespective of executive decision making
    - Less structured for GMAT aspirants (though may be a good introduction)
    - A 'nice brief book' (around 200 pages)
    DESCRIPTION:
    This is the first book I am reading on argument/critical thinking and have completed about 80% of the book.
    The book is an excellent intro to the subject. I liked the relatively short chapters and the crispness of each topic/theme. The author has managed to objectively introduce key concepts without resorting to heavy-duty theories in reasoning and critical thinking.
    One caveat: This presentation is relatively informal - I like it this way. But each idea/chapter has been presented in a deceptively simple fashion. It will help to highlight, reread and discuss with another person to really imbibe the ideas.
    I am a person who leans towards picture/sketches and examples; I would give this book a five-star if thus updated.

  • Good book for sophists! Doesn't matter what the subject is, or what is right and wrong, only the skill of debate is what wins. Sadly, this is what is popular today with the take over of the radical Neo-conservatives.

    This book is a way to leave the argument itself and look at it from the outside. After analyzing it and recognizing objective patterns; as in circular reasoning; labeling; begging the questions with conclusions without details; or in using multiple principles; loosing the main topic; changing direction; basing reasons on the conclusion with circular reasoning; or using popularity as a reason.

    In viewing your argument from the outside while maintaining subjectivity from within, is the best place to present your reasons. It's not necessarily going to change each person's side of the argument, but its going to clarify the reasons to the higher paradigms of each thinker, this to the point he or she is at. And from there each one can bring home their deeper reasons, bogus or valid.

    Awesome book. Easy to read, very helpful.
