Acerca de esta escucha
Drawing on a combined expertise in improvisational theatre and psychiatry, author team Dan O'Connor and Dr. Jeff Katzman show listeners how improv skills are the perfect antidote to loneliness and isolation.
I know what you're thinking: Hold on...improv? Like getting on a stage in front of an audience? What if that's not my thing?
Don't worry: This isn't a book about becoming an improv-theater expert, and it's not really a book about performing. It's a book about loneliness - about our feelings of disconnection and isolation, ones that we may have been experiencing since long before the pandemic. More importantly, it's a book about becoming unlonely - by borrowing from the collaborative and creative tools of improv.
Authors of Life Unscripted Jeff Katzman, a professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, and Dan O'Connor, multifaceted actor, writer, and director, have created a process they call ensembling that helps us build an ensemble of relationships in our lives and more deeply enjoy the groups we already belong to. This is a process of becoming a little vulnerable with each other, and of embracing the moment in which we find ourselves. Drawing on concepts from narrative improvisational theatre and depth psychology, the authors present us with the skills we need to connect with each other more actively and meaningfully. To ensemble or not to ensemble - that is not a question. With the rise of loneliness and isolation in an increasingly virtually connected society, we must find ways to come together. We must ensemble!

Historia
As David Brooks observes, “There is one skill that lies at the heart of any healthy person, family, school, community organization, or society: the ability to see someone else deeply and make them feel seen—to accurately know another person, to let them feel valued, heard, and understood.” And yet we humans don’t do this well. All around us are people who feel invisible, unseen, misunderstood. In How to Know a Person, Brooks sets out to help us do better, posing questions that are essential for all of us: If you want to know a person, what kind of attention should you cast on them?

Reseñas de la Crítica
"In this refreshing outing, Katzman, a professor of psychiatry at the University of New Mexico, and actor O’Connor (Life Unscripted) discuss how improv acting techniques can help people forge authentic and meaningful relationships. Those looking for a prompt to get out of their shell a bit should take a look." (Publishers Weekly)
"For me, improvisation...[has] been a way of life - a set of rules on which I’ve patterned my social interactions and my relationships. I am happy [for] a book that shows not just the funny part of this amazing craft, but the life-affirming aspects as well." (Wayne Brady, actor, improviser, and star of Whose Line Is It Anyway?)
"Wow, great book! Ensemble! is magic! A must-read for anybody who has been lonely and is looking for ways to connect." (David Feinberg, head of Google Health)
