#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Former congressman and prosecutor
Trey Gowdy teaches you how to effectively communicate and persuade on
the issues that matter most to you, drawing on his experience in the
courtroom and the halls of Congress.
"A must-read for people who want to learn how best to succeed."--Dana
Perino, Fox News host and bestselling author of Everything Will Be
Okay
You do not need to be in a courtroom to advocate for others. You do not
need to be in Congress to champion a cause. From the boardroom to the
kitchen table, opportunities to make your case abound, and Doesn't Hurt
to Ask shows you how to seize them. By blending gripping case studies
from nearly two decades in a courtroom and four terms in national
politics with personal stories and practical advice, Trey Gowdy walks
you through the tools and the mindset needed to effectively communicate
your message.
Along the way, Gowdy reflects on the moments in his life when he learned
the most about how to argue and convince. He recounts his missteps
during his first murder trial, the conversation that changed his view on
criminal justice reform, and what he learned while questioning James
Comey and Secretary Hillary Clinton.
Sharing the techniques he perfected advocating in law and politics,
Gowdy helps you identify your objective, understand your personal jury,
and engage in the art of questioning so you can be heard, be understood,
and, ultimately, move others. Whether it's getting a boss to take a
chance on your idea, convincing someone to support your cause, or urging
a child to invest more effort in an important task, movement requires
persuasion. Doesn't Hurt to Ask shows you how to persuade, no matter
the jury and no matter the cause.
