The Invisible Clown: How to Stop Being Afraid of Being Yourself

Clowns are not afraid to be funny; they break patterns and violate commonly accepted rules with childlike ease, which many of us lack. The author of the book, Mikhail Usov, is a professional clown, and he wrote this book for... those who find it difficult to perform in public, who do not believe in themselves and cannot catch their state of "flow" - the state of the Invisible Clown.

The author believes that to become liberated, understand oneself, and regain the feeling of happiness from the distant childhood, one must think outside of patterns and internal fears. Mikhail Usov shares his methodology with readers and offers a number of simple exercises that will allow one to achieve naturalness, relaxation, and openness at the right moment. Illustrations by the famous Spanish cartoonist Ángel Idigoras will help to master the skills.
