Humour, Seriously

Why Humour Is a Superpower At Work And In Life
Book • 2020
This book, backed by extensive research, teaches how to use humor effectively in professional settings.

Aaker and Bagdonas debunk common myths about humor, explain how to identify and employ your own humor style, and provide practical tips on using humor to make a strong first impression, deliver difficult feedback, and foster a culture of levity and creativity.

The authors emphasize that humor is not about telling jokes but about incorporating fun and light-heartedness into formal communication to form better relationships and relieve stress.
