We have it: feel free to borrow it next time you're here.</p>
<p>But you may want to read "Decisive" by the Heath Brothers as well, because they speak about the power of countering a person pointing out a weakness of a choice you've made not with a rebuttal, but with further weaknesses of your choice and strong points of your interlocutor's proposal. Full frontal defense gives the impression of a poorly thought out choice/belief/proposal.</p>
