Summary of Patrick King's The Art of Witty Banter

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 HPM and SBR are six types of responses that can be used to break the ice and start conversations with anyone. They are helpful because they can help you find topics to talk about and respond to people.

#2 HPM stands for History, Philosophy, and Metaphor. It involves your personal experience regarding a topic, your personal stance, take, or opinion on a specific topic, or what the conversation topic reminds you of.

#3 SBR stands for Specific, Broad, and Related. To any statement or question directed to you, you can reply with one of these types of statements. Specific involves asking targeted questions regarding the topic you’re talking about. Broad means you ask broad questions about the topic.

#4 The EDR is the last part of the nine frameworks that you can use to answer just about anything. It straddles HPM and SBR – you can use what’s in front of you, but it’s even better if you draw internally and speak about your own thoughts and opinions.
