Synopsis

When we're kids we laugh all the time. The average four year-old laughs as many as 300 times a day, while the average forty-year-old laughs 300 times every two and a half months! We grow up, start working, trading laughter for bottom lines, slide decks and mind-dumbing conference calls. 

But the benefits of humour for our work and life are huge. Studies have shown that humour makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens our relationships, unlocks creativity and boosts resilience during difficult times. 

Dr. Jennifer Aaker and Naomi Bagdonas are on a mission to help everyone discover the power of humour. Based on the popular Stanford Business course, this book will show you how to mine your life for material.
