Sinossi

Joke Structure explores the science and art behind what makes jokes funny, dissecting the elements that lead to either laughter or silence. It examines how jokes frequently rely on incongruity resolution, where expectations are set up only to be surprisingly subverted. The book also highlights the importance of tension and release in comedic timing, demonstrating how a well-crafted setup builds anticipation for the punchline. Ultimately, it stresses the subjective nature of humor, influenced by cultural background, psychology, and personal experience.

 
The book progresses from establishing a theoretical framework, drawing on linguistics, psychology, and sociology, to deconstructing the anatomy of a joke. It explores comedic devices like puns, irony, and satire, and delves into cultural context, ethical considerations, and practical applications.

 
A unique aspect of this guide is its integrated approach, combining theoretical analysis with practical guidance, making it valuable for comedians, writers, speakers, educators, and anyone interested in understanding and creating better jokes.

    Every time you communicate, you're trying to move someone to feel, think, and act. You're trying to make a point. But very few communicators—regardless of their purpose or position—know their points, have true points, or even understand what a point is, rendering themselves pointless. 
     
     
     
    In this expanded second edition of the bestselling Get to the Point!, Joel Schwartzberg draws on his decades of experience as a strategic communications executive and public speaking coach to deliver a masterclass in high-impact communications for the digital age. 
     
     
     
    Using his trademark encouraging and often humorous voice, Schwartzberg helps you create impactful speeches and slide presentations, emails and work chats, and Zoom and in-person meeting communications. The book will also help you conquer public speaking jitters; leverage AI tools to support—not replace—effective communication; avoid common communication pitfalls; and much more. Whether you're a C-suite executive, salesperson, scientist, or student, Get to the Point! is a blueprint for evolving your written and spoken communications from informing to inspiring and pointless to powerful.
