The Books That Taught a Debate Champion How to Argue

- ggm 4y agoI would argue the books helped, but what taught the debating champion was practice, and constructive criticism. A debating champion I work with said they did rapid fire, 2-4 a day, and had to argue BOTH SIDES of the story, to demonstrate some flexibility of thinking under pressure. Not surprisingly, I very rarely "win" any conversation of opinion backed by differing interpretation of the "facts" as we see them. I am philosophical about this, winning debates is not actually my goal, any more than being "right" all the time.
