If you want to increase team productivity, relieve stress, and be
happier at work, you could hire a bunch of workplace consultants,
invest in scream therapy, and put Pharrell Williams on repeat--or
you could just read Humor That Works. Written by Andrew Tarvin, the
world's first Humor Engineer, this a business book on humor. No,
that's not an oxymoron. It really is a business book and it really
is about getting better results by having more fun. Because people
who use humor in the workplace are more productive, less stressed,
and happier. No joke; sources included. The goal is not to make you
funnier--though that may be a side effect--but to make you
effective-er. You'll learn to develop a personal humor habit that's
not about spitting wisecracks or telling the funniest stories, but
a way of seeing work in an energizing new way. You'll build on some
of the most important business skills for today's work environment,
develop techniques for leveraging humor, and take action to improve
your work immediately. And you'll have fun doing it. There will be
stories about grandmas who text, multiple mentions of milkshakes,
and exactly seven references to zombies. Oh, and there will be
puns. (You've been warned.) Looking for success and happiness at
work? Discover the missing skill of Humor That Works.
