About this book

Discover and embrace the untapped power of your sense of humor

In The Humor Habit: Rewire Your Brain to Stress Less, Laugh More, and Achieve More'er, veteran speaker, corporate trainer, and comedian Paul Osincup delivers a hilarious and effective new take on how to make yourself and your team more productive and resilient by focusing on the funny side of work and life. In the book, you'll learn why humor isn't an in-born quality you're either born with or without. Instead, it's a habit you can develop over time.

You'll find 100 ways to have more fun at work, methods to improve your resilience in dealing with adversity, and an explanation of the author's "LAFTER" model that shows you how to leverage levity at work. You'll also discover:

  • The latest insights from contemporary positive psychology combined with timeless comedic techniques that enhance your wellbeing
  • Strategies to help you battle "chronic seriousness," a condition affecting virtually every professional, tradesperson, consultant, employee, manager, and business leader in the working world
  • Ways to boost your team members' brainpower and productivity using humor

Perfect for managers, executives, team leads, directors, and other business leaders, The Humor Habit is the practical, hands-on guide to improved productivity that's actually fun to read—and even more fun to implement.
