Publisher Description
This program is read by and contains archival audio of the author from MSNBC, BBC Question Time, Oxford Union, and other sources.
Win Every Argument shows how anyone can communicate with confidence, rise above the tit-for-tats on social media, and triumph in a successful and productive debate in the real world.
MSNBC’s Mehdi Hasan isn’t one to avoid arguments. He relishes them as the lifeblood of democracy and the only surefire way to establish the truth. 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.
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 and rhetoric, Hasan shows you how. As a journalist, anchor, and interviewer who has clashed with politicians, generals, 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, Mehdi Hasan will teach you how to sharpen your speaking skills to make the winning case.

Good food for thought from an expert
Mehdi always impresses me in interviews and debates. This book is well narrated and I enjoyed how many clips from outside sources he plays throughout it.
The only reason it isn’t 5 stars for me is that it feels a little too entry level in some ways. That being said, I plan to give it a second listen because it is full of great info, it’s just a little basic from time to time.
Amazing read
Incredibly well written and richly detailed book. Loved every minute of it as I soothed and walked my newborn in our cluttered living room.
Loved it all the way through!
Mehdi knows how to tell it like it is. It’s not about him writing left versus right politics, he writes about reality versus non-reality, fact-based versus fantasy. And having facts is the way to win an argument. He writes the way he talks, in a winning way. Loved it.
