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. Review: A Mid-career Computer Engineer's Perspective - I am a practicing Computer Engineer who was educated in the era when Computer Engineering was still called Electrical Engineering. Suffice it to say, I am well versed in Formal Logic (from an engineering, not philosophy perspective) but am not formally trained in Rhetoric. Any training I had in persuasive writing was long ago and is long since forgotten. I am also, generally speaking, a reader for utility, not for pleasure. This is my first review of a book (or anything for that matter) on desertcart. With this perspective established, I will say that I found myself educated, entertained, compelled and persuaded by this book. Not the avid book reader, I read this in two days, two sittings. And, I am now writing this review,... at 3:41am on a work day. Compelled indeed! The fact that I found it persuasive is the strongest evidence of value given it's purpose. I also recognize that it will serve as a valuable reference in my attempts to persuade going forward. Now, I should say that although I do not agree with all of the arguments the author makes whilst explaining the art of argument, I do appreciate his perspective. I feel he does short change formal logic, but that may be due to my perspective, just as much as his. And, maybe, there should be more that one rule.? In any case, I look forward to applying what I gained from this wonderfully effective book. Review: Comprehensive and Fun to read - Going in blind was quite the experience. I had expected a typical monotonous text full of only facts and logic that didn't cater to a teenager's attention span. However, this book quickly intrigued me when it not only took an effort to keep my attention, it also included pop culture references that made me feel more connected to the information. It made the great Rhetoricians feel more human and fleshed out instead of simply giving them blind praise. The author took great notice to also include lots of personal stories about him, his family and coworkers that made me feel as if the author's purpose wasn't just to inform but to entertain as well. I found this book to be an amazing stepping stone in my path to total manipula- I mean, persuasion of anyone I would happen to be arguing with, and I would highly reccomend it to anyone who may feel a bit of persuasion may be needed in their life. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #45,467 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Speech #17 in Communication Reference (Books) #32 in Business Negotiating (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,379 Reviews | ## Images ![Thank You for Arguing, Third Edition: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61JLR+MlfiL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Mid-career Computer Engineer's Perspective *by A***M on January 6, 2020* I am a practicing Computer Engineer who was educated in the era when Computer Engineering was still called Electrical Engineering.
