Helps you discover the essential qualities you lack - confidence, humour, curiosity, and empathy - and learn how to get them. This book takes a swipe at socialising and breaks down the dynamics of interaction.
"Discover the essential qualities you lack - confidence, humour, curiosity, and empathy - and learn how to get them!" "Learn how to make small-talk with dozens of conversation starters and other role-playing scenarios!" Sound familiar? You bet!"Oh, the Humanity!" satirises not only patronising manuals on interpersonal skills, but also the inhibitions and hang-ups those books attempt to address in the first place. While many humour books focus on dating, sex, or marriage, "Oh, the Humanity!" takes a broader swipe at socialising and breaks down the dynamics of interaction. From making a first impression to conversing with strangers on airplanes, readers will take their first steps toward making friends that last a lifetime!
