About this listen
Politics can be tricky, and things get even harder to understand when there are alternative facts involved. Alternative facts can turn things around for entire movements, make it hard to know whether or not you are getting the real truth, and compromise the integrity of someone when they believe in something. If you have ever heard an alternative fact before, you will know that they can be really negative and may even seem to be slightly absurd because of the way that people have chosen to use them.
What do you do, though, when you come across someone who believes in alternative facts and wants to debate with you? You debate them, of course.
At first, it may seem complicated to reason with someone who thinks a reality star should be president, that cigarettes don't kill, and that crime is going up (thanks to gay marriage, perhaps?), but in this book, you will learn exactly how to fight the alternative facts.
If you are a woman who is sick of hearing about the wage being the same, a member of the LGBTQ community who is sick of hearing about how marriage makes things OK, or an African American who just wants to be called an American, this book is for you.
As you go through the chapters, you will learn about the basics of alternative facts and how they can be detrimental, the elements that you will need to understand of a debate and how false equivalency can hurt everyone. You'll also learn some helpful techniques that you can use while you are debating so that you can make sure you are able to win the debate that you are a part of.
Are you ready to start winning against irrational people?

Imagine how different your life would be if you could avoid getting the worst out of every deal you negotiate in life. You will never quite know how much you have left on the table by lacking the negotiation skills to truly get the most out of your dealings. Whether it's negotiating that pay rise at work, attaining the best price for the house/car, or just simply getting more out of your daily interactions.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Men call them gold diggers, women call them hos, but they call themselves winners. This is the book that society doesn't want you to listen to….

Trace the events of the Black Death and the ways it altered the world in its wake, and much more. With Professor Armstrong, you will dig deep into the ways that later generations reshaped the narrative of the medieval years and perpetuated the myths.

Persuasive content!
Persuasive content! Learning to persuade people into your way of thinking is an important aspect of communication. It happens to everybody every day. This book really teaches you how to do just that and to do it in a friendly matter. It also helps you what to look out for when others are present arguments. Great!!!

Pleasant.
It's a pleasant enough little book, but I didn't really learn anything new from it. Just good reminders to do your research before you get into it, and be nice to each other.

Couldn't finish it and here's why
This book began with a number of subjective examples that put down current political figures. Therefore I was not inclined to finish reading it to get to the valuable information I had sought. I returned the book for a refund.

Absolutely not a guide to valid arguments
I have been reading a number of books on logic, arguments, and critical thinking lately because I think they are skills every person should try and develop, especially in the information age where people are bombarded with illogical or manipulative arguments every time they consume news or social media. Being able to effectively analyze arguments is the difference between being manipulated by others or being able to make rational decisions.
The reason I gave this book one star is because it is the worst book I have ever read related to arguments. This book should have had a very easy time delivering on its promise, considering how easy it is to find and debunk extreme views in the world of politics. However, the author breaks the foundational rule of arguing and lets her emotions get in the way, allowing the valid arguments to give way to fallacious rants.
"Alternative facts" is just a more complex way of saying "lies". Debating lies has never been easier in the information age as most can be debunked with a brief amount of research. However, even after debunking lies with researched facts, the author goes on to continue attacking the lies with opinion, fallacies, and other lies (alternative facts). This is blatant failure in what should have been an easy goal for anyone with even a beginner level understanding of logic and debates. Considering the increasing importance of critical thinking, it is frustrating to see this book commit the very mistakes it claims to be fighting against.
Also, many of the positive reviews seem to be of a cookie cutter variety, so beware.

An Ode to TDS poorly disguised as reasoning.
I hoped for and expected logical critical thinking. I got irrational fallacious Trump Derangement instead. Would only recommend as a display result of the far left media's overt bias and factual dishonesty.
