About the book: 2013 / Arm yourself with this book to protect your own interests in any conflict situation, in any dispute. Here is complete practical instructions for using logic as arguments, including its “forbidden tricks”. You will find here a lot of examples of how people defended their interests in seemingly hopeless situations. Even when they were wrong. You will learn how to strengthen your arguments and at the same time weaken and even completely neutralize your opponent's arguments. You will learn to go against logic, but at the same time be so convincing that people will agree with you. Your relatives, colleagues, friends and acquaintances will be forced to yield to the power of your intellect, as well as to references to scientific achievements of recent years; specific examples from life; opinions of authoritative people and experts who will, of course, be on your side; irrefutable conclusions, even from false premises; exceptions that confirm the rules; evidence that cannot be refuted; arguments that evoke a strong emotional response. Madsen Pirie - President of the Adam Smith Institute, professor of logic and philosophy, author of several famous books on the development of intelligence.
