Publisher's summary

The New York Times bestseller, Win Every Argument is the ultimate audiobook guide to debate, persuasion and public speaking, written and read by award-winning British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan.

Arguments are everywhere – and especially given the fierce debates we’re all embroiled in today, everyone wants to win. In this riveting guide to the art of argument, Mehdi Hasan shows you how to communicate with confidence, rise above the tit for tats on social media, and triumph in a successful and productive debate in the real world.

Arguments help us solve problems, uncover new ideas we might not have considered, and nudge our disagreements toward mutual understanding. A good argument, made in good faith, has intrinsic value – and can also simply be fun.

As a journalist, anchor, and interviewer who has clashed with politicians, spy chiefs, and celebrities from across the world, Hasan reveals his tricks of the trade for the first time. Whether you are making a presentation at work or debating current political issues with a friend, Hasan will teach you how to sharpen your speaking skills to make the winning case.

Critic reviews

"A masterclass from one of the most formidable debaters and interviewers of our time." (Riz Ahmed)

"A tour de force! There is no better debater than Mehdi and this riveting read will help transform the most shy and retiring speaker into a charismatic polemicist. A masterclass." (Owen Jones)

"Mehdi Hasan relishes controversy and winning arguments. This is a combative and engaging ‘How To’ book for wannabe great performers in the studio and in public debate." (Jonathan Dimbleby)

Full recommendation also to academics

This is a very informative, entertaining and well-written book, which I really enjoyed. Can also be useful for academics e.g. to give top presentations.

Breathtaking

An absolutely fantastic book on debates. He does not require the adjectives. Mehdi is the top class Dronacharrya of debating. And, I want to be his disciple, Arjuna, rather than Eklavvya. I fervently hope that this wonderful audiobook is also available in Japanese and Bengali, although the chances may be slim, both the above languages being minor ones, with not much prospects in terms of sales for Audible...

A great introduction to debating.

As a debating coach I can say that this book is a valuable starting point for people interested in debating and has some good tips and pointers. However it is superficial and does not give robust methodology for improvement. If you are a beginner this is for you. If you are a competitive debater then you can skip this book.
