Helps you discover the essential qualities you lack - confidence, humour, curiosity, and empathy - and learn how to get them. This book takes a swipe at socialising and breaks down the dynamics of interaction.

"Discover the essential qualities you lack - confidence, humour, curiosity, and empathy - and learn how to get them!" "Learn how to make small-talk with dozens of conversation starters and other role-playing scenarios!" Sound familiar? You bet!"Oh, the Humanity!" satirises not only patronising manuals on interpersonal skills, but also the inhibitions and hang-ups those books attempt to address in the first place. While many humour books focus on dating, sex, or marriage, "Oh, the Humanity!" takes a broader swipe at socialising and breaks down the dynamics of interaction. From making a first impression to conversing with strangers on airplanes, readers will take their first steps toward making friends that last a lifetime!

Jason Roeder has contributed humour pieces to The New Yorker, Salon, Cracked magazine, and McSweeney's Internet Tendency as well as the books Created in Darkness by Troubled Americans and The Future Dictionary of America. His fiction has appeared in literary journals such as Cimarron Review, Sycamore Review, and Hayden's Ferry Review, which nominated him for a 2006 Pushcart Prize.
