Summary

Your argument is valid and you know it; yet once again you find yourself leaving a debate feeling defeated and embarrassed. The matter is only made worse when you realize that your defeat came at the hands of someone's abuse of logic - and that with the right skills you could have won the argument.

The ability to recognize logical fallacies when they occur is an essential life skill. Mastering Logical Fallacies is the clearest, boldest, and most systematic guide to dominating the rules and tactics of successful arguments. This book offers methodical breakdowns of the logical fallacies behind exceedingly common, yet detrimental, argumentative mistakes, and explores them through real life examples of logic-gone-wrong.

Designed for those who are ready to gain the upper hand over their opponents, this master class teaches the necessary skills to identify your opponents' misuse of logic and construct effective arguments that win. With the empowering strategies offered in Mastering Logical Fallacies you'll be able to reveal the slight-of-hand flaws in your challengers' rhetoric, and seize control of the argument with bulletproof logic.

Excellent

Really enjoyable and interesting. Some have objected to its layout/format style but I thought it was very clear and understandable. Excellent subject matter, which I thought was read well

Google Is Free

This is literally nothing but a list of logical fallacies, examples and possible responses which you can find for free on multiple websites. So the title is misleading, because the book does nothing to actually help you 'Master' responding to these logical fallacies, and there's no reason at all to waste your money on it.

This should have been amazing but was so dry!

Terrible reader with a monotone voice of such dullness it made me want to sleep.
Great subject matter but the writing is abstract and dry. Was hoping for excellent argument advice but this had little to enthuse me. Such a shame.
