Humor: The Antidote to Anger
We all know the value of humor. It helps us heal, gets us out of the doldrums and makes us stronger. As Reader's Digest has taught us so well, "Laughter is the Best Medicine." Counselors and therapists often want to know how to use humor in their work with clients. But no one seems to give them a clear way to do it.
Izzy Kalman will turn your beliefs about humor upside down. Everyone thinks humor is positive and uplifting. You will discover that the opposite is true–humor is negative and downputting. Don't believe it? Then try this simple experiment: find a funny compliment. You will discover you can't do it.
Discover things you will find in no psychology course or textbook: why it is biologically healthy for people to make fun of each other and themselves. And learn a simple approach to helping people that makes them laugh without your even trying to be funny.
