Humor as a Tool for Eudaimonia
Stoicism includes humor as a means to achieve eudaimonia, or good spirit, by reducing negative emotions and promoting positive ones. The Stoics believed that laughter is a natural way to cope with the unpredictability of life and recommended finding humor in life's absurdities.
