If I understood you, would I have this look on my face? - Alan Alda

The acclaimed actor shares fascinating and powerful lessons from the art and science of communication, and teaches readers to improve the way they relate to others using improv games, storytelling, and their own innate ability to read what's probably going on in the minds of others.
