     Starred review from October 3, 2022
     MSNBC host Hasan (Summer of Unrest) breaks down methods of persuading others in this sharp manual. Studying the rhetorical styles and strategies of such figures as Diodotus, Christopher Hitchens, and Barack Obama, Hasan outlines techniques for speaking well, capturing an audience’s attention, and winning debates. He challenges Aristotle’s assertion that ethos, logos, and pathos are equally important to persuasion, countering that “pathos beats logos every time.” Citing a study that found stories focused on an individual garner more charitable donations than stories about groups, Hasan suggests that one should use “good anecdotes and gripping narratives” to get audiences invested in one’s argument. He posits that sprinkling in humor can build rapport, defuse tension, and undermine opponents, recounting when he put an “Islam-basher” and Labor Party parliamentary candidate on the defensive by joking that she would better fit in with far right parties. “Do your homework,” he urges, but he suggests that jokes are more effective when they’re spontaneous. Bolstered by Hasan’s incisive analysis of his interviews and debates with high-ranking political officials from the U.K., U.S., and China, this collects illuminating insights on persuasion. Readers will be won over by this perceptive guide.

     Journalist Hasan (The Mehdi Hasan Show) created a book that will likely make readers feel they are having a conversation with him about public speaking, instead of reading about it. This how-to book explains step-by-step what readers should do to win arguments, including knowing their audience, evoking emotions, and using humor and facts to persuade and engage listeners. He also stresses that readers should be good listeners as well, and preparation is essential for the best presentations. This book is a great resource for everyone from professionals who make presentations regularly to high school students joining the debate team for the first time. It offers simple recommendations that are easy to follow. Hasan's personal anecdotes, well-publicized interviews, and historical moments illustrate how to apply his recommendations, which makes it easier to grasp these abstract concepts that some might typically struggle with. VERDICT This work contains a uniquely presented set of biographical records with quotes from the books cited, which could entice the curious to read those as well. This book is a great addition to public library collections.--Noelia Martinez
