I HATED THE "CLICKBAIT" TITLE! I thought the book will be about how to think logically, but it was about how to win arguments even if your thoughts and arguments are not logical. Apart from that, it was a good book.

Very good text on the subject of informal logic. Understandable explanations, many examples and practical exercises. It really helped give me some important tools for critical thinking.

Recommended.
