The book includes over 70 techniques and games to help build confidence with interacting with others at work and school or in social settings. The author demonstrates how to use these tools in a fun way to enhance teamwork and improve problem solving. Learning to think creatively on the spot, improving one's ability to listen carefully, and building one's ability to adapt are all included. Personally, as a fiction writer, I can use some of these same techniques and games to translate into the character development in my books. The narrator's voice was perfect for this type of book.

Fun Learning!

I went into this just wanting to loosen up a little for work meetings, but it pulled me in way deeper. Listening to this felt like getting coached by someone who really gets people. The parts on confidence and group trust were super solid—and the improv games? Definitely trying some with friends. Also didn’t expect it to touch on social skills and empathy, but those chapters hit. Honestly felt more fun than instructional, and now I’m actually considering signing up for a local class.

So many places to try this

I've had this book for just two weeks, and it's already transformed my improv class experience. As someone who freezes up during scenes, the confidence-building exercises in chapter 3 were exactly what I needed. Last night I volunteered to go first—something I've never done before! The "Yes, And" drills are expertly structured for gradual skill development. I especially love how the book organizes games by skill level and purpose. My improv teacher noticed the difference in my performance and asked what had changed. Perfect for anyone who wants to get out of their head and into the moment!
