Kritik

'At a time of polarisation and rage, we all need to learn how to disagree well-and this important, compelling and wise book should be at the heart of how we do so'
Johann Hari, Sunday Times-bestselling author of Stolen Focus and Lost Connections

'This is not just the electrifying tale of how Bo Seo won two world debate championships. It's also a user manual for our polarized world. I can't think of a more vital resource for learning to sharpen your critical thinking, accelerate your rethinking, and hone your ability to open other people's minds. The Art of Disagreeing Well is the rare book that has the potential to make you smarter-and everyone around you wiser'
Adam Grant, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Again and host of the podcast WorkLife

'A thoughtful, instructive and eloquent meditation on the art of debate and why its central pillars-fact-finding, reason, persuasion and listening to opponents-are so valuable in today's alarming ecosystem of misinformation and extreme emotion'
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times-bestselling author of Ex Libris and The Death of Truth

'Seo's lucid and humane search for 'better ways to disagree' could not be more timely or valuable'
Kevin Rudd, former Prime Minister of Australia and author of The Case for Courage

'Bo Seo pulls off the hat trick of persuasion, combining crisp logic, a compelling story, and a likeable, trustworthy narrator ... his book ... makes a compelling argument of its own: that civil disagreement can save our troubled civilization'
Jay Heinrichs, New York Times-bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing and How to Argue With a Cat
