In an irresistible invitation to lighten up, look around, and live an unscripted life, a master of the art of improvisation explains how to adopt the attitudes and techniques used by generations of musicians and actors.Let�s face it: Life is something we all make up as we go along. No matter how carefully we formulate a �script,� it is bound to change when we interact with people with scripts of their own. Improv Wisdom shows how to apply the maxims of improvisational theater to real-life challenges�whether it�s dealing with a demanding boss, a tired child, or one of life�s never-ending surprises. Patricia Madson distills thirty years of experience into thirteen simple strategies, including �Say Yes,� �Start Anywhere,� �Face the Facts,� and �Make Mistakes, Please,� helping readers to loosen up, think on their feet, and take on everything life has to offer with skill, chutzpah, and a sense of humor.
