Think Speak Win Summary

Think Speak Win: Discover the Art of Debate by Gaurav Keerthi

Many books on persuasive speaking only teach you how to speak persuasively, but they don't teach you how to also think persuasively. Debaters tend to excel when they are put on the spot, because they know how to think fast, speak well, and win audiences. Think, Speak, Win: Discover the Art of Debate provides a first-of-its-kind comprehensive introduction to the basics of debating for young students as well as interested adults, in a light-hearted and interesting style. This book breaks down the skills of debating into simple, memorable, and easy-to-follow chapters, and even covers the basics of coaching a school team and judging a debate competition. The skills of debating can help you achieve greater success at work and school, and this book guides you through a memorable 6-step process to apply Debate-Thinking to situations such as interviews, essay writing, impromptu speeches, presentations, and even leadership and management. You will never be at a loss for words again!

Think Speak Win Reviews

'We are all debaters,' says Gaurav. How true. In school or at the workplace, in business or in government, we are continually engaged in debate. I recommend this lucidly written book to all those who need to analyze complex issues, make a robust argument, or persuade others to their point of view. -Mr Ravi Menon, Permanent Secretary for Ministry of Trade & Industry
