I'm the author and I'm happy to take your questions, very very happy
Whats the "Comedy" to "Actually-Helpful" Ratio of the book?
Maker
It contains some hilarious advice that you might just want to take, but probably not. But maybe.
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.
Maker
This is one of the kindest things anyone's said, thank you
10 / 10 works. Will read again. Will you be starting a series or has that already been done?
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!
Maker
Define "well funded"
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.

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?
Maker
Thanks! Tears are good!
Sarah is a legend. Read everything she does. Not Hyperbole.
Can everyone just take a step back here.. What problem are we really trying to solve?
Maker
you could teach a class on this stuff!
If the other 90 are as good as the first 10, I might have to grab a copy! Will it be in stores?
Maker
Yes! It will be in stores
Sarah Cooper is too damned funny
Maker
i will try to tone it down a bit
please please please don't tone it down. I'm a big fan of your work 😀😀😀
Congrats Sarah!
Maker
thank you larry!
Pre-ordered!! I can't wait for this, her work cracks me up every time.
Maker
Thank you so much for pre-ordering Veronica, you won't be disappointed probably!
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!
Maker
I've wondered the same thing. Thanks for the comment!
