À propos de cet audio

 A master class in the art of persuasion, as taught by professors ranging from Bart Simpson to Winston Churchill, newly revised and updated.

The time-tested secrets taught in this book include Cicero's three-step strategy for moving an audience to action, and Honest Abe's Shameless Trick for lowering an audience's expectations. And it's also replete with contemporary techniques such as politicians' use of code language to appeal to specfic groups and an eye-opening assortment of persuasive tricks, including the Eddie Haskell Ploy, the Belushi Paradigm, Stalin's Timing Secret, and the Yoda Technique.

Whether you're an inveterate lover of language books or just want to win a lot more anger-free arguments on the page, at the podium, or over a beer, Thank You for Arguing is for you. Warm, witty, erudite, and truly enlightening, it not only teaches you how to recognize a paralipsis when you hear it, but also how to wield the weapons of persuasion the next time you really, really, want to get your own way.

this book takes efforts to talk about using rhetoric ethically, but also helps you understand how some people (*cough* Sam Harris *cough*) use rhetoric manipulative ways

The narrator was excellent. He lifted the text off the page. I especially liked the anecdotes and examples.

He argues for using partial truths with emotional strategies to manipulate others and get the outcome you want. I was instead hoping for a book on logical reasoning but this one seemed like the opposite. I found a few better books since on using argument for the purpose of learning and moving ahead at finding truth with others which is much more useful. Maybe this book would be useful if you are a salesperson but not for academics or for family. If my friends or family used some these strategies with me, I would consider them immature or think it was a joke.
