#1 New York Times bestselling author and radio and tv host Glenn Beck's ultimate handbook for tackling and winning life’s most important arguments.

FUNNY. FRIGHTENING. TRUE.

It happens to all of us: You're minding your own business, when some idiot informs you that guns are evil, the Prius will save the planet, or the rich have to finally start paying their fair share of taxes.

Just go away! you think to yourself -- but they only become more obnoxious. Your heart rate quickens. You start to sweat. You can't get away. Your only hope is...this book.

Glenn Beck, author of the #1 New York Times bestsellers An Inconvenient Book and Glenn Beck's Common Sense, has stumbled upon the secret formula to winning arguments against people with big mouths but small minds: knowing the facts.

And this book is full of them.

The next time your Idiot Friends tell you how gun control prevents gun violence, you'll tell them all about England's handgun ban (see page 53). When they tell you that we should copy the UK's health-care system, you'll recount the horrifying facts you read on page 244. And the next time an idiot tells you that vegetable prices will skyrocket without illegal workers, you'll stop saying "no, they won't" and you'll start saying, "actually, eliminating all illegal labor will cause us to spend just $8 a year more on produce." (See page 139.)

Idiots can't be identified through voting records, they can be found only by looking for people who hide behind stereotypes, embrace partisanship, and believe that bumper sticker slogans are a substitute for common sense. If you know someone who fits the bill, then Arguing with Idiots will help you silence them once and for all with the ultimate weapon: the truth.

Total witzig und sehr zutreffend!

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 1. Dezember 2012

Es geht hier nicht nur um Standardfragen, sondern um die Art, WIE man argumentiert. Und das zeigt Glenn Beck hier ganz hervorragend anhand witziger Beispiele. Kann es nur empfehlen für alle die im Beruf viel mit Kommunikation zu tun haben!

20 gute Seiten, danach nur noch Mist

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 23. Oktober 2011

Verifizierter Kauf

Eigentlich geht's gut los: Beck beschreibt, warum er nichts von starken Eingriffen der Regierung in den "freien" Markt hält. Insbesondere unter den Aspekten der Finanzkrise ist's interessant, welche Punkte er bringt um zu zeigen, dass ein starker Markt immer noch richtig wäre.

Aber dann wird's langweilig: Verteidigung des US-Waffengesetzes, Lobhudelei auf das amerik. Bildungssystem und warum Amerikaner auch in Bezug auf ihre Automobilindustrie, ihre Einwanderungspolitik und sogar - ernsthaft - beim Thema Energie alles richtig machen. Die Argumente werden dabei immer abstruser. Nur gut, dass die US-Amerikaner nicht alle so denken wie Beck.

Das Buch ist schlecht zu lesen. Die Seiten sind zugepflastert mit Comics und Info-Boxen. Außerdem sind alle Seiten hochglanz und auf alt gemacht (beiger Hintergrund), es werden viele verschiedene Schriftarten und -größen gemixt und die komplette Farbpalette abgegrast. Einfach schrecklich. Den 2. Stern gibt's für's erste Kapitel.

Schlecht, Selbstgerecht, Eingebildet...

Rezension aus Deutschland vom 11. Dezember 2012

Dieser Mensch ist so etwas von verblendet und verklärt.
Bitte nicht lesen!
Der einzige Grund das Buch zu lesen, wäre, um zu erfahren welch ungebildete, verlogene und verklärte Menschen und Sichtweisen in den USA in großem Maße kursieren.
Aber dann bitte nicht neu kaufen - so jmd. soll und darf man einfach nicht unterstützen!!!
FINGER WEG!

Too bad about the cover..

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 30. Oktober 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

I have to go with the opinion of another reviewer (not on Amazon) who said that the worst thing about this book was its silly cover. I totally agree. In fact, I've thrown the cover in the trash and am proceeding to enjoy the stimulating contents of the book.

Of course, in my case, Beck is preaching to the choir...I am one of those "wingnuts" who is absolutely flabbergasted to find UNIONS controlling national politics again, as if unions were, like, totally innocent in the massive failure of American public education and the automobile manufacturers. Beck's two-page flowchart describing EXACTLY what it takes to fire a New York teacher is just about worth the price of admission by itself. Basically, the subtext of the entire chart is "you can't fire me." Not even if I am found with porn, marijuana, and cocaine on school grounds. Nope! You've got this whole labyrinthine system to go through ("Did you suggest counseling? Did you work on peer collaboration and input?") And, even when you get to the end of the procedure and wind up with one (1) fired teacher, in whose firing at least 200 people have been involved, the teacher can always just turn around and sue you, so you wind up with a lawsuit on your hands.

Here's a thought to take home with you: roughly speaking, public education is now costing us $10,000 per pupil per year. Do the math! If a classroom holds 30 students, that is THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND dollars. If you have six such classrooms, you have almost $2 MILLION DOLLARS to educate 180 students for nine months. Gosh almighty: nice work if you can find it. Do you think parochial schools (Catholic schools come to mind) spend anything like this? Do you imagine that they do an inferior job?

Beck is especially hard on the "No Child Left Behind" program --- and he should be. The financial incentives are so strong that we have a new behavior on our hands: teachers cheating to help their students make a passing grade! The whole idea of learning is getting tossed aside in favor of the Giant Issue of "passing the test." How do teachers cheat? Well, some fools write the answers on the blackboard during the test. Others pass among the students, offering "free advice," while others actually go through the finished exams and massively change wrong answers. Gee, then "everyone passes!" Nobody learned any more, but the paperwork sure looks good! Beck persuasively compares this to Stalinist Russia, where it was much more important to REPORT cutting down an acre of forest than it was to actually cut down the trees.

There are other fine chapters in this book, but I have concentrated on education because that is one of my passions, and it seems to me that almost nobody is willing to admit a fact that we have known forever: excellent schools are created --- not with money, but with lots of hard work, study time, and elbow grease. There is no "silver bullet." If you want to know Shakespeare, you have to read him --- and actually read quite a lot of him. This involves a huge journey in learning to understand his English, but there is no shortcut: Cliff's Notes won't do the trick. If you want to do calculus and physics, you're going to need an excellent teacher, a lot of hard work, AND talent!! If you want to learn a foreign language, then set aside 3-4 years for that project --- by then you will be "conversant" in that language and will be in a position to realize that learning (say) French is really a lifelong task, just as learning English is. (Your reviewer here is over 60, and still looks up words in the English dictionary when he wonders: "Do I really know what that word means?")

Of course, the best outcome (or one of the best outcomes) of one's school years is to realize that one has embarked on a lifetime of learning. There's precious little of that going around in American public schools, I suspect.

Anyway, an interesting and entertaining book. Don't be put off by the silly cover.

Entertainment and education.

Rezension aus dem Vereinigten Königreich vom 25. Oktober 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

Well written and a good mixture of humour, argument and accurate information.

I would advise people to read the book carefully (or to return to it after they have read it) - because one can read the work quickly (getting both pleasure and use from it), but miss important things that are tucked away.

Glenn Beck has evolved over the years - he now understands the libertarian case that many Republican politicians (especially in the leadership of the Republican party) are useless (or worse) in combatting the drift to ever bigger government in the United States. What matters is limiting government (not talking about limited government whilst expanding government - as with George Walker Bush), if socialists (indeed Marxists) such as Barack Obama are to be defeated then it will have to be done by people actually having principles (not just pretending to have them). If a Republican really does have limited government principles then good - if not they are useless (indeed worse than useless) and "if you do not vote for the monster the monster will get in" is a dead end (the "lesser evil" just paves the way for the greater evil - as Bush paved the way for Obama). Over the last few years Glenn Beck has come to understand this ("about time" would say some of us libertarians), and now he is sharing what he has found out with anyone prepared to read and think.

Arguing with idiots may be a waste of time; reading book isn't

Rezension aus den Vereinigten Staaten vom 23. Oktober 2009

Verifizierter Kauf

Full disclosure: I watch Beck's show every night and listen to the radio program when possible. I know he is not a journalist and am fully aware that he is a recovering alcoholic and rodeo-clown.

Now for the review: I love this book! It is an easy read. Beck's "voice" is clear in the writing and you will probably feel as if you have just had a lengthy conversation with the writer. You may view this as a good thing or a bad thing. I was delighted. The book doesn't contain a great deal of information that is new. If you are keeping up with current events, read the news on the internet, and watch FOX/listen to talk-radio, you may have heard most of the facts and stories in the book. Despite this, the book is a pleasure to read thanks to the style Beck uses and it is an invaluable resource if you plan to do what the title suggests, namely "Argue with an idiot." Each chapter tackles a specific topic and walks the reader through the most likely liberal/progressive/idiot positions, offering criticism and opposing views. This makes the book a great resource and easy to use.

I recommend this book to anyone - yes, even to idiots. It is a great conversation starter. Along with "An Inconvenient Book" and "Common Sense" it is one of the few books my high school students ask if they can borrow. I have a room full of great books and most of them are gathering dust. Beck's books get read. I don't know of a higher compliment to pay a book than that.
