Win Every Argument by Mehdi Hasan

PAPERBACK

Win Every Argument: The Art of Debating, Persuading, and Public Speaking by Mehdi Hasan is a sharp, spirited guide to mastering the art of persuasion—whether you're on a debate stage, in a boardroom, or just trying to win over your friends in a heated discussion.

Hasan, a renowned journalist and interviewer, draws from his own high-stakes experiences to break down the techniques that make arguments effective. He emphasizes that argumentation is not about shouting the loudest, but about combining logic (logos), credibility (ethos), and emotional appeal (pathos) to make your case compelling. The book is filled with real-world examples, rhetorical strategies, and practical tips on everything from dismantling logical fallacies to using body language and storytelling to your advantage.

What sets this book apart is its unapologetic embrace of argument as a force for truth, democracy, and even joy. Hasan doesn’t just teach you how to win—he shows you why it matters
