Sinopse

Comedic Timing explores the science behind what makes us laugh, diving into the psychological and linguistic elements that make jokes work. It argues that comedic timing isn't just innate talent; it's a skill rooted in cognitive processes and speech patterns. The book investigates how our brains react to humor, highlighting the Benign-Violation Theory, which suggests we find humor in situations that are both threatening and safe. It also examines how expectation violations contribute to funniness.

 
The book progresses from the psychology of humor to the specifics of timing and delivery. It analyzes how wordplay, pauses, and intonation affect comedic impact, drawing examples from stand-up, improv, and everyday conversations. It also considers the impact of speech disfluencies and social context on humor perception.

 
By bridging performing arts and psychology, Comedic Timing offers insights into effective communication and the power of humor in social interactions.

It's Not Your Fault - The...

Laura K. Connell

We are sometimes our own worst enemies, sabotaging our success and with it our chance for lasting happiness and opportunities for personal and professional fulfillment. It's Not Your Fault helps listeners uncover the subconscious reasons they hold themselves back. These blind spots were often created in childhood as coping mechanisms in response to trauma. Rather than teaching tactics that ignore or give surface attention to adverse childhood events, the book lovingly guides listeners to explore the ways these events have impacted their lives and how this knowledge will help them access true transformation. 
 
 
 
Those who have been let down by traditional therapeutic techniques know that behavior modification doesn't work for everyone. Simply doing things differently while staying the same on the inside might help for the short term, but before long old patterns emerge. Once they decide to get serious about change, however, and stop tweaking habits in the hope it will result in lasting transformation, they can create a life by design instead of default. It takes work, an internal excavation, and Laura comes alongside the listener as a trusted guide who has been where they are now. She provides the tools and anecdotal evidence to show them how to overcome the pain of self-sabotage and create the life they desire.

The Secret Bombs of Iva Valley -...

Edward Chukukere

This book is the first true and full account of the 34 months of weapons manufacturing activities of Biafra's "Research and Armaments Production" (RAP). RAP was secretly nucleated and named by an Arrowhead Troika of engineers in March 1967, following privileged information on Nigeria's war preparations, goaded by Harold Wilson, the British Prime Minister. The Troika's mentor was a brave gentleman officer, Major Louis Chude Sokei, who established a Military Wing of the Troika's RAP and named its only regular commissioned officer (this author) as the Head. The university community and the organized private sector personnel joined the Troika four/five months later, and RAP's weapons output soared exponentially. The Military Wing regularly deployed RAP's weapons directly to the various field commands, along with its specialized weapon firing crews of soldiers. An account of the eight fiercest battles of the entire campaign is given in fair detail. Similarly, a brief description of twelve of the most intrepid Biafran officers and men is given. The incredible mystery of the war is how the five-week-old Biafran Army, totally bereft of all ordnance and using its own manufactured weapons, without Navy or Air Force, managed to keep at bay, for thirty-four months, Nigeria's gargantuan coalition with Britain and Soviet Russia, which was commanded by Britain's General Alexander, until both sides became exhausted and a political gimmick of surrender was contrived by Gowon and Nnamdi Azikiwe, Nigeria's first President. How Biafra achieved this incredible feat is what this book is about.
