The Humor Advantage:

Using Humor to Decrease Stress & Boost Happiness

HubSpot Video

When we're stressed out, burned out, or checked out, people often say, "You need to laugh it off" or "Have a sense of humor about it". That's great, but nobody ever tells us HOW to do that. In this course, you'll learn evidence-based strategies for developing your sense of humor into an intentional mindfulness tool to reduce stress and boost your well-being and productivity. If you're thinking, "That sounds great, but I'm not that funny," then you're either humble or self-aware, which are both more important than being funny. You don't have to be funny — we'll teach you. Using a combination of proven strategies & research from positive psychology, neuroscience, improv, and stand-up comedy, you'll leave with numerous actionable ways to start using your own sense of humor as a mindfulness tool.

 

 

In this ON-DEMAND course, you’ll be able to:

  • Name the two competing factors that contribute to stress
  • Identify at least 10 actionable strategies to reduce stress and boost happiness using humor
  • Practice humorous intervention strategies
  • And, learn how to develop your sense of humor
