'Electrifying ... A user manual for our polarized world' Adam
Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again By a
two-time debating world champion, a dazzling look at how arguing
better can transform your life - and the world - for the better
Everyone debates, in some form, most days. Sometimes we do it to
persuade; other times to learn, discover a truth, or simply to
express something about ourselves. We argue to defend ourselves,
our work, and our loved ones from external threat. We do it to get
our way, or just to get ahead. As a two-time debating world
champion, Bo has made a career out of arguing. Over the past few
years, however, he's noticed how we're not only arguing more and
more, but getting worse at it - a fact proven by our polarised
politics. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world
champion, as well as those of illustrious participants in the sport
such as Malcolm X, Edmund Burke and Sally Rooney, Seo shows how the
skills of debating - information gathering, truth finding,
lucidity, organization, and persuasion - are often the cornerstone
of successful careers and happy lives. Along the way, he provides
the reader with an unforgettable toolkit to use debate as a means
to improve their own. This book is an everyperson's guide to
disagreeing well, so that the outcome of having had an argument is
better than not having it at all. Taking readers on a thrilling
intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture
of competitive debate, The Art of Disagreeing Well proves that
good-faith debate can enrich and improve our lives, friendships,
democracies and in the process, our world.
