I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

How to Argue: Powerfully, Persuasively, PositivelyHow to Argue: Powerfully, Persuasively, Positively by Jonathan Herring
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This ebook was free from Barnes and Noble when I downloaded it to my Nook library. It is another book from Pearson Education, and I have found the ones I read to be useful.
The 10 Golden Rules of Argument are: 1.Be prepared. 2. When to argue, when to walk away. 3.What you say and how you say it. 4. Listen and listen again. 5. Excel at responding to arguments. 6. Watch out for crafty tricks. 7. Develop the skills for arguing in public. 8. Be able to argue in writing. 9. Be great at resolving deadlock. 10. Maintain relationships.
The best advice for myself from this book is "Only argue if you can change something or influence someone."
I recommend this book for all readers for this book is about improving our communication skills.
