Requests:  0 Summary:  "When Bo Seo was 8 years old, he and his family migrated from Korea to Australia. At the time, he did not speak English, and, unsurprisingly, struggled at school. But, then, in fifth grade, something happened to change his life: he discovered competitive debate. Immediately, he was hooked. Debating turned out, unexpectedly, to be the perfect activity for someone shy and unsure of himself. It became a way for Bo not only to find his voice, but to excel socially and academically. And he's not the only one. Far from it: presidents, Supreme Court justices, and CEOs are all disproportionally debaters. This is hardly a coincidence. By tracing his own journey from immigrant kid to world champion, Seo shows how the skills of debating--information gathering, truth finding, lucidity, organization, and persuasion--are often the cornerstone of successful careers and happy lives. Drawing insights from its strategies, structure, and history of debate, Seo teaches readers the skills of diagreeing well, and shows how it can improve their relationships with friends, family, and colleagues. He takes readers on a thrilling intellectual adventure into the eccentric and brilliant subculture of competitive debate, touching on everything from the radical politics of Malcolm X to artificial Intelligence. Seo proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that, far from being a source of conflict, good-faith debate can enrich our daily lives. Indeed, these good arguments are essential to a flourishing democracy, and are more important than ever at a time when bad faith is all around and our democarcy seems so imperiled"-- Publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 808.53 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.53 Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.53 Se Checked out 07/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.53 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 808.53 Se Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
