Comedian, star of the Netflix special Everything's Fine , and Trump lip-syncing sensation Sarah Cooper presents the must-have book you never knew you needed, 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings . In it, you will learn how to appear smart in less than half the time it takes to actually learn anything. You know those subtle tricks your coworkers are all guilty of? The constant nodding, pretend concentration, useless rhetorical questions? These tricks make them seem like they know what they’re doing when in fact they have no clue. This behavior is so ingrained, so subtle, and so often mistaken for true intelligence that identifying it, calling it out, or compiling it into an exhaustive digest has never been attempted. Until now. Complete with illustrated tips, examples, and scenarios, 100 Tricks gives you actionable ways to use words like “actionable,” in order to sound smart. Every type of meeting is covered, from general meetings where you stopped paying attention almost immediately, to one-on-one meetings you zoned out on, to impromptu meetings you were painfully subjected to at the last minute. It’s all here. Open this book to any page and find an easy-to-digest trick with an even easier-to-digest illustration, guiding you on: how to nail the big meeting by pacing and nodding most effective ways to listen to your coworkers while still completely ignoring them the key to making your presentations “interactive.” If you hadn’t noticed these behaviors before, you will see them now—from your colleagues, your managers, and soon yourself. Each trick is a mirror to the reality of what happens in meetings, told in the form of hilariously bad advice—advice that you might just want to take. But probably not. But maybe. "Sly satire that will bring endless joy to anyone who has ever endured the drudgery of corporate life."―Dan Lyons, writer for HBO's Silicon Valley and New York Times- bestselling author of Disrupted Review: Corporate Culture Unmasked with a Laugh! - Let me begin by saying that I have worked in corporate America for most of my career. I have witnessed first-hand the ongoing comedy of errors that is corporate culture in this country. Sarah Cooper’s “100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings” laugh-out-load hilariously explores the central mechanism, meetings, by which most corporate actors pretend to reach decisions (in fact, most decisions are made by individuals who then use meetings to get everyone else to agree). While this fully illustrated book begins with regular meetings, it also delves into conference calls, team meetings, presentations, team dinners, networking events, etc. As well as, all the associated strategies such as whiteboard tactics, conference room playbook, and what to do with your face during meetings. If you want a good laugh at the expense of corporate culture or alternately, if you want to learn how to get raises and promotions in corporate America without actually having to do too much, this is the book for you! My favorite tactic for Conference Calls was #29 instant message other attendees during the call. This is an honored ritual in my company necessary to kvetch about whoever is running the call or talking on the call and occasionally what the latest sports scores are. Seriously, Cooper’s brilliantly humorous riff strips away the facade of “managerial competence” that corporate America seems to accrue to itself for no particularly discernible reason. While the book comically poses tactics and strategies to get ahead, she is really giving you a glimpse into modern corporate behavior that, for me, rang true on so many levels and also made me LOL. I received a pre-publication electronic copy of the book, but have already purchased five hard-copies to give to friends and family. I also follow Cooper on her website the Cooper Review – check it out. Review: Let's put this plainly: She is the Mark Twain of 21st century tech related corporate American humor. - Sarah Cooper is one of the funniest writers who makes fun of life in corporate America, mostly tech related, N. Californian blend. Her style of mixing short and striking humor bits with her hand drawn cartoons is great, even for someone who comes from a country where government bans twitter and/or facebook every time someone displays such great humor. Is her humor comparable to the famous Dilbert cartoons? I believe that is a big YES. (you are welcome Sarah, I will just make this sound like I did not get compensated by you or your publisher or both). As she says in the book somewhere: "Like most women I am not a man". That is, Sarah is a woman. I think she will one day be called by the American textbooks as the female Mark Twain! I have been following Sarah Cooper (the author) for about a year from her The Cooper Review web site, so I am not completely unaware of her funny cartoons. Actually I bet her on twitter that I would be the first one to review (genuinely, after buying and reading the book) this wonderful book and so as promised I am delivering that review. She is way too funnier than I expected in this book. Her humor is so timely that when you read her book, it will already be where the puck is going to be. I hope you will enjoy reading/looking at this lovely and funny book as much as I did. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #324,513 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #154 in Business Encyclopedias #267 in Running Meetings & Presentations (Books) #302 in Business & Professional Humor | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,945 Reviews | ## Images ![100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YJ-MXRsiL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Corporate Culture Unmasked with a Laugh! *by R***T on October 4, 2016* Let me begin by saying that I have worked in corporate America for most of my career.
