"Art of Mentoring" seriesIn the publication that he was created to create, provocateur and best-selling writer Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who easier to speak to that person who locates him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a profession of disagreeing in deep and entertaining ways.This publication explores the entire range of "contrary positions"-from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt. In an age of overly polite argument bending over backward to reach a happy consensus in a increasingly centrist politics dialogue, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast. He bemoans the loss of the abilities of dialectical thinking evident in modern-day society. He is aware of the importance of disagreement-to personal integrity, to informed debate, to true progress-heck, to democracy itself. Epigrammatic, spunky, witty, in your face, timeless and timely, this publication is everything you would expect from a mentoring contrarian.
