Sarah is a legend. Read everything she does. Not Hyperbole.

Funny because it's true. Too true. The author Sarah Cooper is a mad-woman (and a genius). She wrote "10 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings" with 5+ million views and now this. It's madness (and makes me laugh tears). Check it out. You'll learn how to appear smart in less than half the time it takes to actually learn anything. Plus, it makes the perfect gift for coworkers (the ones you like anyways). I use a lot of parentheses don't I?
Sarah Cooper
@writerpollock Thanks! Tears are good!
Bryan
Pre-ordered and I feel smarter already!
Sarah Cooper
@elusivepeanut thanks for your pre-order! you look smarter already too!
Jim Jones
Can everyone just take a step back here.. What problem are we really trying to solve?
Sarah Cooper
@aantix you could teach a class on this stuff!
Larry Cornett

Sarah Cooper

Veronica Belmont

Sarah Cooper
@veronica Thank you so much for pre-ordering Veronica, you won't be disappointed probably!

This book should be mandatory in all workspaces! My favorite is #39, however it's mostly used to assign tasks to others... First time I heard about this book was when Sarah gave a hilarious presentation at FunnyBizz. Very recommended if you want a laugh right away: https://youtu.be/nk7LvL-71f0
Sarah Cooper
@aurorakb Thank you!
David Feng
This walks a thin line between absolutely hilarious and totally true. Now I have to wonder if people who actually do these things are just blowing smoke :) Thanks for writing this!
Sarah Cooper
@davidsfeng I've wondered the same thing. Thanks for the comment!

Hey Sarah, I'm really like this funny books. Since I can't get one in China, do you have any plan for publishing a digital version of it?
Sarah Cooper
@wxiluo Yes! You can preorder it now on kindle, apple books and google play (but it will be published in China, just not sure when) Thanks for your question :-)
Dave Idell
If the other 90 are as good as the first 10, I might have to grab a copy! Will it be in stores?
Sarah Cooper
@daveometer Yes! It will be in stores
Sarah Cooper
I'm the author and I'm happy to take your questions, very very happy

@sarahcpr Whats the "Comedy" to "Actually-Helpful" Ratio of the book?
Sarah Cooper
@gopietz It contains some hilarious advice that you might just want to take, but probably not. But maybe.
Pietz Prove
@sarahcpr haha, alright. loved your "10 tricks" article. i have to try not to laugh whenever somebody wants to go back a slide. that makes me realize: you ruined me for meetings, Sarah. way to go.
Sarah Cooper
@gopietz This is one of the kindest things anyone's said, thank you
Francis Lee
@sarahcpr 10 / 10 works. Will read again. Will you be starting a series or has that already been done?
Cristina Solana
That Venn Diagram tip is hilarious. And probably true.
Marc Van Den Broeck
Sarah Cooper is too damned funny
Sarah Cooper
@dakawa i will try to tone it down a bit
Stephen Charles

I just wanted to say that this book changed my life. I've used all 100 tricks and I am now the CTO of a well funded startup. Without this book I'd be cutting out the business cards of other CTOs at FedEx still. Thank you Sarah Cooper!
Sarah Cooper
@oscargodson Define "well funded"
Oscar Godson
@sarahcpr Investors love these tricks. If I do a handful of these investors will just give you money. They offer 500K I say "will it scale" and they will talk about how we need more money to scale, they offer a million, repeat. Life changer.
