Bo Seo, two-time world champion debater and former coach of the Australian debating team is the author of the new book Good Arguments – What the art of debating can teach us about listening better and disagreeing well. 

He joined Joe Hildebrand on Afternoons to provide some tips on how to have “good arguments”.

“I don’t think we’re at our best when we’re just with people who just agree with us,” he said.

Mr Seo also explained how social media is hindering our ability to have good arguments.

“You’re actually using them as a tool to talk to all those people who already agree with you who are going to applaud what you’re saying.”

The book has received rave reviews.
