About this listen

The New York Times bestseller, Win Every Argument is the ultimate audiobook guide to debate, persuasion and public speaking, written and read by award-winning British-American journalist Mehdi Hasan.

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, Mehdi Hasan shows you how to communicate with confidence, rise above the tit for tats on social media, and triumph in a successful and productive debate in the real world.

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.

As a journalist, anchor, and interviewer who has clashed with politicians, 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, Hasan will teach you how to sharpen your speaking skills to make the winning case.

Critic reviews

"A masterclass from one of the most formidable debaters and interviewers of our time." (Riz Ahmed)

"A tour de force! There is no better debater than Mehdi and this riveting read will help transform the most shy and retiring speaker into a charismatic polemicist. A masterclass." (Owen Jones)

"Mehdi Hasan relishes controversy and winning arguments. This is a combative and engaging ‘How To’ book for wannabe great performers in the studio and in public debate." (Jonathan Dimbleby)

Besides being a big fan of Mehdi's work, this book to much relief is far more than a mere listacle. The passion put into driving every point is made extremely clear and apparent. I love the way every argument tool is unpacked by Mehdi's signature homework and "receipts". As I listened, I grew to fully understand the principle and intended use of each technique. It remains, however, far easier said than done. As rightly empathised, even the most skilled orators need practice.

My favourite lesson was to grasp the importance of pathos, quickly realising feelings matter as much as nuanced points in a debate.

In all, this is a practical book carrying the vigour of Mehdi's argumentative powers. It details must-have principles and behind the scene works to winning debates.

Great listen, both interesting and vastly insightful. I downloaded this out of interest in the content of Mehdis arguments but it also found it very useful and i plan to implement these techniques in my day to day life. The audio format is great too giving use live recordings of Mehdis knock out out downs.

Superb

Some excellent argumentation techniques that definitely work.

Rational-thinking listeners will need to look past the special pleading and misquotes / misrepresentations the author engages in with regard to religion. They don't really have any bearing on the efficacy of the espoused strategies.

One other minor point: The "coeruleus" in "locus coeruleus" is pronounced with an "s" sound at the start, not a hard "c".

Useful techniques, with some caveats
