Learn conversational agility to think quickly on your feet, be incredibly smooth, funny, and clever - all at once. Goodbye awkward silences!

No matter where you lie on the spectrum of awkward to engaging, witty banter is always the end goal - and it should be. Witty banter, and all the steps that lead to it, allows you to disarm and connect with anyone, immediately exit boring small talk mode, and instantly build rapport.

The Art of Witty Banter is a book that carefully examines the art, nuance, and mechanics of banter and charm to make you a witty comeback machine, the likes of which your friends have never seen. You'll be able to handle, defend, disarm, and engage others in a way that makes you more comfortable and confident with each growing day.

Patrick King is an internationally best-selling author and social skills and conversation coach. As someone who teaches people to speak for a living, he's broken wit and banter down to a science and given you real guidelines on what to say and when.

Love the specific tactics in this book. Short and to the point, while staying engaging. For the cost of a coffee, I learned a ton. And I was so impressed that I downloaded ALL of your books. Every last one of them. Thank you for making the art of social interaction tangible and crackable!

What insight do you think you’ll apply from The Art of Witty Banter?

I have worked sales for 19 years, so basically, I talk to people for a living. I was already doing most of the ideas the author discussed but he did suggest ways I could polish up my conversational skills.

Any additional comments?

I feel like there is much to take away from this book and I will recommend to my future hires on the sales floor. Talking to people really is an art and it needs to be constantly evolving.

Very useful!!

if it was not for the short amount of time of the read, I would rank it lower. it very generic and doesn't offer any new ideas but for people just starting out its not so bad.

This is especially useful for folks with little social experience. Patrick King gives practical advise with good examples to help understand his advice and pattern your interactions until you become more creative. If you have experience in social and professional interactions, yuo will not get much out of this book. I is a great introduction, though.
