Reading Thank You for Arguing? Here Are Videos for the Chapters

While you won’t find a video for each chapter (yet!), you might just want to click on the vid titles that sound good. Personally, my favorites are The Natalie Portman Technique, because it smells nice; and Pepsi Decorum, because it has good taste. If you’re planning to write a college essay, then you absolutely have to watch this one.

I’ve put chapter numbers in parentheses, but they only match the chapters in the fourth edition; your edition’s chapters may be numbered differently, so—you know—look it up in the table of contents.

I’ll be adding new videos in the weeks to come, so be sure and subscribe.
