Inhaltsangabe

Strategies to become healthy, wealthy, and wise (without having to go to bed early).

The judicious use of humor is often cited as the reason a new relationship began. It is also frequently recognized as the reason it has lasted. People like to be with others who make them laugh and who, in turn, enjoy their own humorous comments. Humor is an effective tool in nearly all settings, from formal interactions in the workplace to casual exchanges with strangers. How Humor Helps… informs its readers how to determine what is funny and what is not. Complicating the picture is that the appropriate use of humor has recently changed drastically in terms of topics and language. This book emphasizes the positive values of humor in many areas of life and how to deliver it effectively. Based on the scientific literature, the views of professional comedians, and our awareness of cultural changes, the author’s recommendations are all designed to affect major personal benefits to the reader. Maybe greater longevity, too, as the latest evidence is that strong social connections, facilitated by clever humor, actually can make people happier, self-confident, and even physically healthier. This book stresses the value of using humor in most areas of your life and how to do it successfully to garner the greatest benefits.
