Show yourself who's in charge using the original art of persuasion, backed by contemporary pop culture examples that make transforming your habits and achieving goals easy, even fun—from the New York Times. bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing. Rhetoric once sat at the center of elite education. Alexander the Great, Shakespeare, and Martin Luther King, Jr. , used it to build empires, write deathless literature, and inspire democracies.

In Aristotle's Guide to Self-Persuasion,. Heinrichs helps readers persuade their most difficult audiences—themselves—by using techniques invented by the likes of Aristotle and Cicero and deployed by our culture’s most persuasive characters. With their help, rhetoric can convert the most negative situations into positive ones.
