About the Author
Dr. Joel Goodman, founder and Director of The HUMOR Project, is a popular speaker whose programs have tickled and touched the lives of millions of people throughout the U.S. and abroad.

Dr. Goodman has authored eight jest-selling books (including Laffirmations: 1,001 Ways to Add Humor to Your Life and Work). He also has edited the LAUGHING MATTERS magazine, generating rave reviews from thousands of people throughout the U.S. and 20 other countries.

Joel has been a pioneer focusing on the positive power of humor and creativity.  Described as "the first full-time humor educator in the world," Joel founded The HUMOR Project in 1977.

Joel founded AHA!, the American Humor Association, which includes over 165,000 humor conspirators. He believes that it is important for business to "do well and do good" at the same time: The HUMOR Project has provided grants to 450+ schools, hospitals, and human service agencies to help them develop services and resources that tap the positive power of humor.

Joel takes his work very seriously, and he takes himself very lightly as he helps people to get more smileage out of their lives and jobs. His own most important mentors when it comes to humor are his 26-year-old son, Adam, his 22-year-old daughter, Alyssa, and his young-at-heart wife, Margie.

If you haven't got a sense of humor, you haven't got any sense at all.
--Mary McDonald

If you ever misplaced your sense of humor, where would you look for it?

Make up a sign for your desk that says, ""I don't remember what I wanted to be when I grew up . . . but I'm sure it wasn't this."" This is especially helpful when you lose sight of what you're doing and why you're doing it.

an aid to much thought, positve outcomes
The statements about humor were exciting to begin with and supportive of my work writing. When I began to have second thoughts, I read several again, finding some that reduced my enthusiasm, Since then I have gone back many times, and will continue to do so, believing this has improved my health along with the delights. I ordered three or four copies and probably will suggest it to friends.
