Описание: Most of us laugh at something funny multiple times during a typical day. Humor serves multiple purposes, and although there is a sizable and expanding research literature on the subject, the research is spread in a variety of disciplines. The Psychology of Humor, 2e reviews the literature, integrating research from across subdisciplines in psychology, as well as related fields such as anthropology, biology, computer science, linguistics, sociology, and more. This book begins by defining humor and presenting theories of humor. Later chapters cover cognitive processes involved in humor and the effects of humor on cognition. Individual differences in personality and humor are identified as well as the physiology of humor, the social functions of humor, and how humor develops and changes over the lifespan. This book concludes noting the association of humor with physical and mental health, and outlines applications of humor use in psychotherapy, education, and the workplace. . . In addition to being fully updated with recent research, the second edition includes a variety of new materials. More graphs, tables, and figures now illustrate concepts, processes, and theories. It provides new brief interviews with prominent humor scholars via text boxes. The end of each chapter now includes a list of key concepts, critical thinking questions, and a list of resources for further reading.

Описание: "Imagine what you could do with the time you spend writing emails every day." Complexity is killing companies' ability to innovate and adapt, and simplicity is fast becoming the competitive advantage of our time. "Why Simple Wins" helps leaders and their teams move beyond the feelings of frustration and futility that come with so much unproductive work in today s corporate world to create a corporate culture where valuable, essential, meaningful work is the norm. By learning how to eliminate redundancies, communicate with clarity, and make simplification a habit, individuals and companies can begin to recognize which activities are time-sucks and which create lasting value. Lisa Bodell s simplification method has several unique principles: Simplification is a skill that s available to us all, yet very few leaders use it. Simplification is the right thing to dofor our customers, for our company, and for each other. Operating with simplification as our core business model will make it easier to be respectful of each other s time. Simplification drives culture, and culture in turn drives employee engagement, customer relations, and overall productivity. This book is inspired by Bodell s passion for eliminating barriers to innovation and productivity. In it, she explains why change and innovation are so hard to achieveand it s not what you might expect. The reality is this: we spend our days drowning in mundane tasks like meetings, emails, and reports. These are often self-created complexities that prevent us from getting to the meaningful work that truly matters. Using simple stories and techniques, "Why Simple Wins" shows that by using simplicity as an operating principle, we can eliminate the busy work that puts a chokehold on us every day, and instead spend time on the work that we value.

Описание: This book is the first-ever authoritative work on the use and management of humor in the workplace. It is a practical guide for everyone involved: the humorists ('jokers'), the targets (sometimes 'victims'), the observers ('audience') and most of all the managers who have to 'set the tone' and encourage, control and manage humor. Humor is part and parcel of every workplace. However, while it usually demonstrates and fosters a united, happy workforce, it can at times be deeply damaging and divisive. The authors - academics with vast organizational experience and a research-based understanding of humor at work - bring together state-of-the art knowledge of the topic, making it fun, accessible and readable for all humor participants. The topics include how humor works, humor cultures in organizations, the many forms of workplace humor and their pros and cons, humor rituals at work, digital humor, workplace jokers, the 21st century issue of 'political correctness', and both the 'bright side' of humor (assisting positive cultures, making work 'fun'), and its 'dark side' (where humor offends and humiliates). With over 60 'real life' illustrative stories of workplace humor, a self-completion questionnaire to measure the Humor Climate in your organization, end-of-chapter 'takeaways' and an end-of-book summary advocating 'best practice', the book is a 'fun', how-to-do-it guide that will both inform and entertain.
