This book wages a hilarious battle on "chronic seriousness", a condition affecting eleven out of ten people working in healthcare, finance, tech, education, business, marketing, construction...really anyone who works. It's an engaging and persuasive argument for the proposition that humor is not an inborn talent you're born with (or without). Instead, it's a habit you can develop and cultivate over time to improve your productivity, well-being, and outlook. Paul fills the book with insights pulled directly from contemporary positive psychology research and timeless comedy tools.
Each chapter ends with a "Humor Homework" section filled with activities and exercises you can use to enhance your sense of humor and intentionally use it to improve your well-being. These methods will increase your resilience as you deal with adversity, wrapping your pain in humor with comedy writing techniques.
You'll also discover how to use the "LAFTER" model to leverage humor at work, as well as a list of 101 ways to have more fun at that place you spend 1/3 of your life.
Perfect for managers, executives, directors, and other business leaders, The Humor Habit is also a great resource for young professionals, front line staff, team leads, human resources professionals, consultants, and everyone else who simply wants to improve their life, be more productive, and have more fun.
