Product Description

How can you be cool at work, or in bed, or in a bar, or in a restaurant? What is cool when it comes to dating? Calling? Not calling? Standing in their garden with a placard and a megaphone?

Coolness is a dark art and takes years of practice. But help is at hand. How To Be Cool is your trusty handbook for ineffable coolness in every eventuality. Award-winning comedian Will Smith is your guide through a world where a nifty quip, a signature drink and an outright lie about how much you like Italian arthouse movies can make you feel like Johnny Depp, rather than John McCririck.

Glaring social ineptitude will happily be a thing of the past.

Customer Reviews

Simply Cool
Will Smith, is just one of the best British Comedians to come along in recent years. He does nt orely on puerile comedy but instead uses pure witicim, itellect and great delivery to get his humour across. A case of never mind the bollocks... and this book is just the best. It had me splitting my sides, and caused a lot of raised eyebrows on my recent flight to Mexico City as I read it. Its just simply "cool" but its amazing how funny the simplicity of it is. Will just points out for once and for all everything that we know we should do, but as soon as we have to apply it, we thorw the rule book out and do what we think is cool instead. This book shoudl be compulsory reading for social troglodytes, numpties and general pillocks.
I loved it.
I recommend it.
A terrifically funny book, by a great comedian

Laugh out loud funny
There aren't many books that make me laugh out loud; this is one of the few. Excellent for dipping brightening a dull day!

Supercool
Very funny book about ways you can be cool and catastrophic ways you can't. With some great advice ('Never be first on at a dance or an orgy') and hilarious multiple choice quizzes at the end of each chapter. Laugh-out-loud funny, I might have to get it as a Christmas present for a few of my friends who could probably use the help!
