Sure, you might be funny; but looks aren't everything! This guide offers an in-depth look at laughter, humor, and comedy. Do you want to be more humorous? Have you ever watched someone effortlessly make a group laugh and wished you knew their magic? Well, wonder no more. The mystery of charisma is finally unveiled, the fallacy of you either have it, or you don't has been laid bare. Anyone can learn to make people laugh, and it is not as hard as you think.
Observing a couple of surprisingly simple rules, the 7 EASY STEPS take us on a comedic tour-de-force as they explore all the facets of laughter. The lessons and techniques found within this guide will let you write your own jokes as you learn about the how's and why's of wordplay, slapstick, conversational, and beyond. On the quest for a belly laugh, no grin is too tiny, no joke left behind. Understanding the biological imperative to laugh and social desire will give you a leg up when you try to get them going.
Humor is one of humanity's genuinely universal expressions, and learning how to tap that emotion and elicit it in others will go a long way toward improving your communication skills in general.
YOU'LL LEARN:
- Timing isn't an important thing- it's the only thing; How to practice, improve and master the perfect time and place for any joke.
- Why jokes work; the universal commonality that almost everything you might laugh at has in common
- Why more than 50% of laughter you hear is not in response to intended humor; how to take advantage of that fact
- The power of silence and the unspoken joke; physical humor beyond slapstick and props
- And so much more!
No other guide dares to deconstruct humor itself, look at why we laugh and when, then seek to put those pieces to use, giving the reader the tools they need to pull laughter out of even the driest temperament. Learn to read the room and cut the clowning, or crank up the crazy if the mood is right. When you have every style of humor available, you are accessible to fine-tune your sense of humor your personality. Whether your delivery is a bone-dry deadpan or flamboyant, gushy tirade, this book contains all the information you need to take your jokes from stale to hale.
Follow these 7 EASY STEPS today and start making merry tomorrow! With easy, practical lessons and simple, fun homework, you will be the life of the party in no time, or at least capable of consistent comedy. When you laugh, the world laughs with you, so start improving your sense of humor today. Like any sense, it will atrophy if you neglect it or thrive when you focus on it. Turn your lazy bones into funny bones, and you will have made the world a better place.
Let's get started!
