Customer Reviews

A leading book on the value of humor in the workplace.
Increased productivity, reduced stress, and employee connection are direct derivatives of the inclusion of humor in the workplace. This is the theme of Morreall's book; he artfully illustrates with humor theory and practical tools for implemtation. "Humor Works" should be a nearby reference for all supervisors and managers.

A very enjoyable reading!
There are lots of fun reading this excellent book. In addition to the dozens of humors and jokes, Prof. Morreall also gives you very sound philosophical and psychological explanations on how humor can make you successful both in the workplace and in your life. Reading the book is like an old friend telling you some very interesting stories. It IS very enjoyable.
