Are you the parent of an argumentative teen or a teen with an argumentative parent? Are you anticipating an argument with your boss when you ask for a raise? Are you expecting trouble from a supplier, contractor, landlord, or subordinate? Or do you just ignore conflict situations hoping that they'll magically disappear or solve themselves? The art of argument. It's mysterious and powerful. It's the art of having things go your way. But also it's the art of getting out of your own way. It's having The Moves. But it's also about having The Touch. Arguing. There's the rough and tumble of the norm, the amateur's game. Then there's the pro's game—always knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Winning arguments without quarreling, squabbling, tussling, wrangling, bickering, raising your voice, losing your cool, or coming to blows. Winning arguments without bulldozing and browbeating the other guy. Winning arguments by finessing rather than forcing, kickin' butt or being in the other guy's face. Winning arguments without offending or embarrassing anyone, including yourself. Winning arguments with confidence, grace and ease.

“Two thumbs up! A whole new way of being smart about all the people in your life—coworkers, bosses, family, the people you do business with. Bob Mayer tells you how to finesse the results you want without pleading, prodding, pushing, or pulling.”
“[Mayer’s methodology] is martial. It’s mental judo, where you use the other guy’s energy to win. It’s mind-set. It’s charisma.”
“This will be one of the most important books you’ve read in a long time.”
“A tender and effective approach to tough problems. Mayer has written more than a book, it’s a way of life.”
" Don't be mislead by the title; like most books on this subject, it's less about "winning arguments" than it is communicating effectively. This always involves changing one's self, not trying to change others. "
" Pretty good read...a little drawn out. "
" Okay book. Some good points, but much more theoretical than how to. "
