Summary

Learn conversational agility to think quickly on your feet, be incredibly smooth, funny, and clever - all at once. Goodbye awkward silences!

No matter where you lie on the spectrum of awkward to engaging, witty banter is always the end goal - and it should be. Witty banter, and all the steps that lead to it, allows you to disarm and connect with anyone, immediately exit boring small talk mode, and instantly build rapport.

The Art of Witty Banter is a book that carefully examines the art, nuance, and mechanics of banter and charm to make you a witty comeback machine, the likes of which your friends have never seen. You'll be able to handle, defend, disarm, and engage others in a way that makes you more comfortable and confident with each growing day.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills and conversation coach. As someone who teaches people to speak for a living, he's broken wit and banter down to a science and given you real guidelines on what to say and when.

Not what it says it is

This has nothing to do with witty banter more a beginner's guide to conversation for the socially inept. Very disappointing .

Shart of a Witless w**ker

Utter tripe. A Painfully pedestrian stole through the autistic ramblings, examples of 'clever conversations' given are eye gougingly moronic and lack even the basic understanding of a playful exchange, they are devoid of wit and charisma. Annoyed I wasted my hard earned cash on this cak!
