Life Unscripted: Using Improv Principles to Get Unstuck, Boost Confidence, and Transform Your Life

Are you feeling like life is staid, dull, and lacking? If you want to spice things up, but don’t know how, here is the book for you! The authors of Life Unscripted have a whole set of new attitudes for you to try out, using principles from improvisational acting and comedy, like using mistakes, accepting offers, and seeing disruption in a different light. Many of us feel like life will be different only when something external changes, but here the authors prove you can change your whole life just by mixing things up a bit, by being a little more open in ways that improv actors have to be all the time. For example, try taking a different drive home from work, or not just answering “fine” when someone asks how you are doing, and see what happens. Who knows where it might lead? The book starts with the simplest actions, then builds your confidence to become more bold and creative. Each chapter ends with a set of helpful “takeaways” and a few things to try. Your life will become more meaningful to you as you recognize the joy in each moment by implementing these principles into your life.
