A witty, wise, biting, and completely individual meditation on what it means to think, live, and be to the contrary.
"Art of Mentoring" series
In the book that he was born to write, provocateur and best-selling author Christopher Hitchens inspires future generations of radicals, gadflies, mavericks, rebels, angry young (wo)men, and dissidents. Who better to speak to that person who finds him or herself in a contrarian position than Hitchens, who has made a career of disagreeing in profound and entertaining ways.
This book explores the entire range of "contrary positions"-from noble dissident to gratuitous pain in the butt. In an age of overly polite debate bending over backward to reach a happy consensus within an increasingly centrist political dialogue, Hitchens pointedly pitches himself in contrast.
He bemoans the loss of the skills of dialectical thinking evident in contemporary society. He understands the importance of disagreement-to personal integrity, to informed discussion, to true progress-heck, to democracy itself. Epigrammatic, spunky, witty, in your face, timeless and timely, this book is everything you would expect from a mentoring contrarian.

對非理性保持警惕,不管它多誘人。遠離“超驗”和那些邀請你服從或自毀的人。提防同情心;對於你自己和他人來說,都是尊嚴更為可取。不要怕彆人覺得你傲慢或自私。把所有的專傢都看成哺乳動物。對於不公正和愚昧永遠不要旁觀。尋求論述和爭辯不需要額外的理由;墳墓裏有足夠的...
評分我記得我是在Bill Maher的節目上知道Hitchens,他給人感覺就是脾氣古怪,很愛得罪人,很憤怒,有時候會講一些很精彩的話,但總體來說他好像沒有一個係統來錶達一個比較複雜的思想。 這本書其實就好像他人給我的感覺,這本書的內容不是教你如果做一個contrarian,而是講做contr...
評分《緻一位“憤青”的信》,讀書名還以為是本規勸的書,我正想著要息息怒,學學如何處世,沒想非但沒有得逞,還被引得火上澆油,因為作者說:“我隻有一次生命要度過,所以我一分鍾也不願意花在作某種抑鬱的妥協上。” 他認為: 1、必須懷疑一切。一個人認為是正確的東西,無論是...

(2013.43)一年前看見這書八成會奉為人生哲學的新高峰什麼的,現在就是覺得非常帶感又非常舞紮~ 高端說教什麼的最有愛瞭,但現在已經無法滿足我瞭,還是要轉戰純科學啊~(扭)不過CH其人的確很有趣啊,文青應該讓他火起來啊~~~
評分Doubt everything, and these words too. I am reminded of Nietzsche's Homo Ecce - "and who is Nietzsche, that you should believe him?"

評分not as good as his debates in blood & flesh & actual voice...slightly repetitive/pretentious...D Murray is better in writing but less bold, Hitchens is really passionate & darn smart but this book is more casual
