The Art of Always Being Right cover

We all know people who are incredibly persuasive. In this concise book the philosophy of persuasion is parsed in 38 subtle rules that will give you the magic formula to achieve success in work and life. Find out when to: • Counter bad arguments with bad arguments / • Claim victory despite defeat / • Anger your opponent / • Lying is permitted. In this practical yet entertaining book, AC Grayling has skilfully edited Arthur Schopenhauer's posthumous work for the modern reader and provided additional text of his own. Schopenhauer, eclipsed at university by Hegel (whom he thought a fraud), made the topic of this book the study of a lifetime. Here are his conclusions in 38 handy hacks anyone can use.

‘Keep this delightful essay at your side.’ Observer; ‘An instruction manual no one can afford to be without.’ New Statesman; ‘Drily witty.’ Alain de Botton, Sunday Telegraph; ‘Caustically witty.’ Spectator; ‘Warmly recommended.’ BBC Radio 4 Saturday Review
