About this listen
The Art of the Argument shocks the dying art of rational debate back to life, giving you the essential tools you need to fight the escalating sophistry, falsehoods, and vicious personal attacks that have displaced intelligent conversations throughout the world. At a time when we need reasonable and empirical discussions more desperately than ever, The Art of the Argument smashes through the brain-eating fogs of sophistry and mental manipulation, illuminating a path to benevolent power for all who wish to take it.
Civilization is defined by our willingness and ability to use words instead of fists - in the absence of reason, violence rules. The Art of the Argument gives you the intellectual ammunition - in one concentrated, entertaining and powerful package - to engage in truly productive, civilization-saving debates. Armed with this book, you will be empowered to speak truth to power, illuminate ignorance, shatter delusions, and expose the dangerous sophists within your own life, and around the world.

Incomplete?
Several months have past so my memory is no longer fresh on this publication, so I'll give you what I remember feeling at the time.
Once you get past the fact that he's out to infuriate everyone, he gives valid points and good tips with different perspectives on common use of language.
However, it seemed he was providing the cream of reasoning, but sometimes it is without full context on structures which would make it easier for the average person to comprehend in separate but similar circumstances.
I was kind of hoping to hear more on introspective reasoning.
Also, he admits to leaving the ring when up against nihilists, which leads me to believe he is not as infallible as he tries to get convince the follower.
In conclusion, it left much to be desired for someone looking for more depth.
However, following this book with a more academic lecture series on argumentation, many of those questions were filled and maybe one would benefit more starting with those before coming to this.

Good information about debate, I would prefer someone else narrate
The information about debating/arguing I found useful. I had heard the term sophist but never truly understood what it meant and the ideas behind it. The only issue I had was with the narration. I would have preferred someone else narrate. Normally, I would take breaks when I want to digest the content I have heard but this book I took breaks because of the narrator’s performance.

A very rational book
If you want to understand why many people no longer argue, but slander.
If you want to improve, read this book

Great narration as usual
Dramatic narration and very pertinent talking points for the modern North American debate. Stefan let's his love for theater and drama shine through in his voice. Shivers up my spine were felt more than once.

Read the righteous mind by Jonathan Haidt instead. I'm amazed at all of these high ratings.

Digressions as a Form of Argument
It seemed like Stefan was going somewhere, but constant digressions and loss of focus, or even to discuss argument, let alone the art of argument, made this the worst purchase so far...perhaps it's the title that is misleading.
