    About this ebook

    Effective arguing is an important skill to develop. Verbal conflict is not about being contrary or negative, and it's not about getting your own way.

    Arguing is an inherent part of life that humans use to resolve issues and create new ideas and solutions. Arguing often breeds innovation. When people respectfully, accurately, and logically debate ideas, they become more informed and see the world through other perspectives.

    When used effectively, an argument can resolve conflict and lead to better outcomes for all parties.

    Using the "secrets" in How To Argue: 21 Ways to Win An Argument Without Losing a Friend you can become an effective, yet lovable, arguer. You'll learn how to :

    * Achieve mutually beneficial resolutions with your spouse, colleagues, and your children.

    * Manage friendships more effectively by using your skills to win without alienating your relationships.

    * Vastly improves your negotiating skills with your co-workers and supervisors, even clients and customers.

    Effective arguing is a skill anyone can learn. From managing your own emotions to guiding others into a way of thinking that best suits your argument, there are a variety of skills you can use to be more effective when arguing with anyone about any topic at any time.

    And best of all --- you save your relationships in the process!

      INTRODUCTION

      Even in a disconnected world full of technology, people communicate face-to-face with other human beings every day of their lives. Being able to successfully convey thoughts, feelings, ideas, and goals is important with personal and business relationships.

      In fact, any time you’re with someone you are communicating -- even if it’s non-verbally -- as your body language communicates what is going on internally. Your posture, stance, attitude, every muscle in your face, and your eyes give them clues as to whether you’re being combative, confrontational, attentive, deep in thought, or protective of your space. Even the tone of your voice can be a dead giveaway if it’s strident, calm, gentle, deep, forceful, seductive, or authoritarian.

      However, not understanding how to utilize your body movements and your verbal and internal energy to communicate effectively can cause miscommunication, especially during times of conflict.

      Through effective communication people make friends, find a mate, complete group projects at school, get travel directions, and get their work done
