Thanks for this great podcast. I agree that we often do not believe what we THINK we believe. It is through our actions that our believes often show themselves.

On a completely different note, I have a quick question: I am writing a novel currently, but I am finding that I am NOT naturally gifted at comedy . . . do you know of any good books which discuss the principles of comedy? Anything to help me understand how good comedy is structured?

Thanks! I love this blog and all the ideas I find on it!

      There is a great YouTube video in which Jerry Seinfeld describes how he approaches comedic structure.
