The Argument for Good Argument with Bo Seo
Update: 2023-05-31
Description
Debating is one of the art forms of communication. We all use debate tools every day, even when we don’t know that we are using them. When we try to get our point across at work or argue with a pesky relative, we are using certain skills to win an argument.
The rapid changes in socially accepted norms and the divisive political moment are making many of us walk on egg shells, fearful of expressing an opinion different from others.
Today's guest says that is not good for society and we should not shy away from these arguments but instead learn the rules of debate and engage!
Bo Seo is a 2 time World Debate Champion.
He is the former coach of the Harvard and the Australian National Debate Teams. He is also the author of the book Good Arguments, where he makes the case for using debate tools as a framework to lean in to uncomfortable conversations. Bo says we need to restore confidence and faith in what disagreements can be.
Bo joins me to talk about the importance of being able to argue and explains how to have a good argument!
