With all the wisdom of the ages, from classical oratory to contemporary politics and pop-culture, Thank You For Arguing shows you how to win more than your fair share of arguments, as well as:

>How to shine at work, avoid speeding tickets, and outwit argumentative partners
>Cicero's secrets to moving an audience, Donald Trump's savvy speechmaking, the art of giving a TED talk
>Tactics like Setting Your Goals, Making Them Like You, Gaining the High Ground
>Defuse an angry accuser and benefit from your own mistakes

Great book

Its rare that I'm able to stay engaged with a book of this nature from start to end. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and have bought the paper copy as well for reference. I suspect I will be listening to it again before the year is out.

i found this book fascinating and engaging

Great book - well presented.
However, there are a lot of lists and it’s sometimes a bit hard to follow. A pdf of figures and lists would have been great.

Good - but hard to follow

You can tell that this book is narrated by the author, because all the necessary intonation is there.
The amount of information is enough to give you a clear picture of rhetoric, but the style is so good that will make you ask for more.
This is one of the very few books I'll listen to twice.

Savoury and well structured

Fun, witty & wise - listened twice in a row.
Will also buy the book - so much to learn and know.

Even better than you think

I really enjoyed the content of the book, inluding the real-life examples of application of several techniques from author´s own life . As for the performance, that was for me a bit weaker part of the audiobook... But I generally prefer books being read by actors so I might be biased in my judgement. I would recommend the book.. good inspiration for communication

Content of the book is really interesting

This is the single best book available to learn the art of rhetorical speaking. Not so much a book about arguing as a book about achieving productive conversations through understanding what the other is saying and far more importantly how they are saying it. To describe this book in words does not do it justice, you have to read it.

The art of tongue fu.
