When taking a look at Craig Ferguson's interviews recently, I felt that a lot of his conversational skill comes from an affinity for improv.
So, I'll be reading this book at some point in the future:
- Improve Your Conversations: Think on Your Feet, Witty Banter, and Always Know What to Say with Improv Comedy Techniques (2nd Edition): promises to teach the rules of improv comedy that allow performers to turn boring prompts into memorable interactions worthy of standing ovations.
I've already spotted an area in which the author is wrong about how conversation is, but my hope is that if I test out the improv techniques I'll be able to see for myself their effectiveness and draw my own conclusions without having to rely on the author's thoughts and ideas.

I suggest “the Winner effect” by Ian Robertson.
A book about the neurobiology of winning.

Thank you for sharing, John!
BTW, when I saw this (bold is mine):
If this is love why do I feel so insecure: talks about the unconscious and how we make an unconscious image based on our parents of the people we fall in love with. Changed my life forever.
The human magnet syndrome: why some people are attracted to manipulators.
I got interested since I often something that impactful should be promoted -and especially considering how relatively unknown the book seems to be-.
So if one day you want to share a review and how it impacted, just let me know.

Hello Lucio,
sure I will. I read it more than 10 years ago but will share what I remember.

Another suggestion:
The Setup from Dan Biltzerian
I'm not a fan of Dan Biltzerian (I know he's a fraud) but he's supposed to share his method to attract women so maybe it's interesting.

Thank you Drazil.
If I may ask, did you read it and liked it, or are you suggesting it as a possible good resource?
And if you liked it, happy to hear what you found good about it.

I read it and liked it very much, it was one of the first books I've ever read and it was the book that got me into persuasion and manipulation (and eventually lead me here actually). But after some time has passed and I became a more seasoned reader the book comes as cross as a bit "woo-woo". I'm most asking as a way to get your opinion on it as an expert because of how much sentimental value this book has for me.
To me though, yes, I think the book is a good resource for the type of audience you have.

Alright, thanks man!
I added it to my reading list now -which, admittedly, is quite long :)-.
