What the Art of Debating Can Teach Us About Listening Better and Disagreeing Well
A blend of memoir and practical guide that uses lessons from competitive debate to show how to argue more clearly, listen more generously, and disagree without rancor. Through vivid stories from tournaments and coaching, it distills principles like defining terms, finding the real point of clash, structuring claims and evidence, and steelmanning opponents. It offers tools for navigating family squabbles, workplace conflicts, and online polarization, emphasizing curiosity, respect, and disciplined thinking to turn conflict into constructive conversation.
