Summary

If you want to impress your colleagues, friends, and family with remarkable argumentation skills and logical thinking, then keep reading.

Don't be discouraged if you answered yes to all three questions. The truth is that most people do.

You see, most debaters make the same mistakes - with both their argument structure and their responses. You may even make deadly logical sins...without even realizing. But now, you can stay informed with insider tips, usually only known to top debaters, which will maximize your chances of winning debates and receiving praise for your new remarkable skills.

Excellent

I have read a number of books on argument. This one is insightful and thorough. The only criticism I have is that I would have listened to more detail in places, but that didn’t seem to warrant a reduction in stars!
