Ringkasan: Very simple and to the point, it initially explains what an argument really is and puts the topic into perspective. With questions like "what are we arguing about?" and "why argue" answered and by identifying different types of arguments, the reader is equipped with a plan to avoid falling into dead-end arguments and getting sucked into agreement which he may later regret. It is truly a helpful guide in polishing your negotiating skills whether for buying a car or negotiating with your spouse. This book does three main things. First, it give you specific guidelines and advice for holding your own in an argument. Readers may be surprised that the most important skill in getting one`s point across is to listen and ask questions, not "gotcha" questions but questions that convey an honest curiosity and a desire to understand the other person`s point of view. Second, Gilbert identifies those circumstances when it`s best not to argue, when arguing is just a waste of time and energy. Third, Gilbert lists the traps and tricks that an opponent can use against you and how to counteract these tactics. In conclusion, a great book to improve self development.
