Funny business! sundeep Pleasant read - insightful how improv and stand up techniques are making the rounds in the top b schools and major corporates!. Andrew Peterman said Five Stars. Best book I ever read. Grab it on a blueberry morning and read it outside!. "Excellent! Must read" according to Kilroyshere62. Excellent view of how we should use humor more in the work place and maybe not take ourselves so seriously
And you won't even ever have to get on stage to do it!. Business, just like comedy (and everything else in the world) is still about people. Laughter, they say, is the best medicine. Funny Business will help you to improve your professional and interpersonal relationships to position you for success no matter what your goals might be. Over 50 individuals are featured in the text, including 10 in-depth case studies with comedians, executives, professors, a dating coach, and even America's first Chief Comedy Officer. Written by Bill Connolly, a branding expert and professional improvisational comedian, Funny Business outlines comedy lessons that can be applied to other areas of your professional and personal life. Well, it also happens to be a pretty effective tool in the workplace.
