Without a doubt, you can have great success and great fun winning arguments. However, beware of those opposing you, because you may annoy them with your argumentative prowess by "always being right".

This may sound weird, but I picked up this book to help me communicate better with my child and husband, not necessarily to "win" arguments. I live with two very strong family members and sometimes I am not able to get my point across. I got tons of help from this book, such as the importance of context when communicating with people and convincing people to see things from my point of view. I love the science and theory behind this subject and the author does a great job providing that. Well done book! I’ll definitely be going through this one again!

Arguing On Another Level

The insight into making an argument is phenomenal. It puts arguing on another level. One of my favorite chapters on this book talks about mind mapping. Maps are only so accurate and are not always reality. We have to know all that's going and be open. Excellent listen.

Logic and Humor for the Win!

Part of this books title - “You Don’t Have to be Smarter to be Right” caught my attention and convinced me that this was exactly the book I needed to hear! I’ve always felt that debate and coming up with logical responses during the pressure of an argument were not my strength at all. Certain friends and family members seem so good at winning arguments that I usually don’t bother saying much even if I disagree and feel strongly about a matter.

But this audiobook book convinced me it is possible to win arguments through reframing, persuasion, NLP techniques and by using words and context to my advantage. Looking forward to practicing the skills I learned in this book and finally facing arguments with confidence! Highly recommend!
