Historia
The beloved actor shares fascinating and powerful lessons from the science of communication and teaches listeners to improve the way they relate to others using improv games, storytelling, and their own innate mind-reading abilities. With his trademark humor and frankness, Alan Alda explains what makes the out-of-the-box techniques he developed after his years as the host of Scientific American Frontiers so effective.

should be a paragraph, not a book
Revisado: 07-23-18
1. successful communication requires empathy.
2. improv can help you learn empathy, and in turn become better communicator.
His message needs only two sentences, or maybe a paragraph, not a whole book. Too redundant. Unnecessary examples to convey a very simple idea. Ionically this book is an example of bad communication!

Historia
The Simoqin Prophecies, first published in 2003 in India, was critically acclaimed and an instant bestseller. It marked the beginning of Indian fantasy writing in English. Written with consummate ease and brimming with wit and allusion, it is at once classic sff and subtle spoof, featuring scantily clad centauresses, flying carpets, pink trolls, and homicidal rabbits.

Brilliant!! Complex and hilarious
Revisado: 02-17-17
This first book of the Gameworld trilogy is, hopefully, the beginning of a little revolution in the SFF genre. It is the first (english) fantasy book that draws inspirations and hilarious references from the tremendous riches of Indian mythology, which had thus far been left untapped as most writers (and probably readers) of SFF hail from western countries.
Most SFF books rely in some way on the Bible or from Greek & Roman mythologies for references and tropes. But beyond the novel source of inspirations, Samit Basu weaves a fascinating tale, complex, filled with suspense, surprising twists and is full of witty (yet self-aware) references to everything from the Ramayana and Mahabharata to Alice in Wonderland, and from Tolkien to Top Gun and Monty Python. And he does it without effort and without breaking the the flow of the book, as if all of SFF before was a seamless real part of the Gameworld universe.
The book starts a little slow, but picks up pace quickly. Readers unfamiliar with Indian mythology may miss some jokes, but will find plenty to laugh out loud about and to be absolutely fascinated with.
