What to Talk About

What to Talk About

by Christopher Colin (Author)

Synopsis

Learn how to talk fluently, intelligently, charmingly to family, friends, lovers, future lovers, bank tellers, postal carriers and people under the age of 8 (do you get credit for talking to them if their parents aren't around?). This hilarious yet practical manual tackles the fundamentals of good conversation. Written by two comedians and illustrated by legendary cartoonist Tony Millionaire, it offers solid advice and sound social wisdom alongside faux-serious diagrams and inventories of real and humorously implausible scenarios, from dinner parties to those awkward moments in an elevator and beyond. A handy, giftable hardcover, What to Talk About can help readers navigate any interaction while having a laugh at the absurd conversational challenges we all face in our daily lives.

Media Reviews
The content is very tongue-in-cheek and laced with humor. This isn't a full- on self-help book, but a fun way of rethinking our daily conversations. It will definitely give you some ideas on how to change up your small talk and would be fun to read aloud at a party.
