How to Win Every Argument

 

In the second edition of this humorous and interesting book, Madsen Pirie builds on your guide to victimization (and misusing) logic to win arguments. With new chapters on how to win arguments in writing, in the pub, with a friend, on Facebook, and in a hundred and forty characters (on Twitter), Pirie offers the whole guide to succeeding in arguments, starting from everyday to the downright serious. It identifies, with devastating examples, the most common fallacies popularly utilized in the argument.

 

The author shows you ways to strengthen your thinking and, at the same time, acknowledge weaknesses in the arguments of others. And, rather deviously, Pirie demonstrates how to be purposefully illogical and get away with it. This book can cause you to be insanely smart; your family, friends, and enemies will wish they'd never read it.
