Reviews

[Patrick T]

A focused reminder of methods critical to success in winning any argument

This book should be required reading for every professional, whether lawyer, politician, Product Manager or business leader, who has work that succeeds or fails based on their ability to win others to agree with a point of view. It introduces established methods for structuring arguments to win, understanding how to counter assertions, and bringing evidence to bear.

[Guthrie C.]

Concise intro

This very brief pamphlet provides a good introduction to the concept and practices of debating. It is very basic due to its intended high school audience but interesting nonetheless.

[Ben Kimball]

I should have read better before buying this for $10 - There are only 23 pages in this "book". While it successfully introduces you to the rules of debate, I had hoped it would go into far more detail on how to argue a myriad of concepts and possible objections.

[Lori Jo]

Decent book to coach high school kids.

[Derek Forrest Miles]

simple and the questions at the end of each chapter was nice.
