Language Arts. Self-Improvement. Nonfiction. HTML:Thank You for Arguing is your master class in the art of persuasion, taught by professors ranging from Bart Simpson to Winston Churchill. The time-tested secrets the book discloses include Cicero's three-step strategy for moving an audience to actionÃ?as well as Honest Abe's Shameless Trick of lowering an audience's expectations by pretending to be unpolished. But it's also replete with contemporary techniques such as politicians' use of "code" language to appeal to specific groups and an eye-opening assortment of popular-culture dodges, including:

The Eddie Haskell Ploy
Eminem's Rules of Decorum
The Belushi Paradigm
Stalin's Timing Secret
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. Written by one of today's most popular online language mavens, it's warm, witty, erudite, and truly enlightening. It not only teaches you how to recognize a paralipsis and a chiasmus when you hear them, but also how to wield such handy and persuasive weapons the next time you really, really want to get your own way.

This is one of those books, maybe the only book, which, many years after reading it I continue to recommend to people like me- those who are too into logos to notice that isn't how people work and there are two other central components to rhetoric! For a while it definitely positively affected my interactions with others- but I often now find myself slipping back into bad arguing habits. Probably due for a re-read! ( )

Just the thing for the aspiring persuader -- or for new students at St. John's College. ( )

I stretched this one out quite a while because I would pick it up, read a few sections and put it down for something else. It's a nice conversational read, full of great explanations, strategies, tips, told with not a few anecdotes (which ordinarily would drive me nuts, but weren't so bad taken a bit at a time). Recommended. ( )

A great primer on argumentation. It has a nice conversational style and doesn't get too hung-up on rhetorical figures or argumentation styles. It gives a usable overview of the major argument "voices" then gives salient examples. This is a very workable place to start a study on rhetoric before moving on to Corbett and Connors. ( )
