Nothing New,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dont Get Mad Get Funny! (Paperback)
This book is 116 pages with a lot of wasted space. Lots of empty pages and illustrations so not much actual information given. We all know that humor helps to reduce stress. I was looking for more practical information I guess. I mean it's O.K. but I didn't really learn anything new here. Sorry

Fun and Practical,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dont Get Mad Get Funny! (Paperback)
As a stand-up comic and a person who uses humor in my "real-world" jobs, I found Ms. Jasheway's book to be a fun and practical approach to reducing stress in the workplace. So many people these days complain about the amount of stress in their lives but think the only things they can do to relieve it is to reduce their coffee intake and start working-out. They feel they have to listen to tapes with subliminal messages or practice yoga. Yet nothing reduces the amount of tension we are carrying around like a good laugh. Some people feel that humor has no place on the job, that it means you're goofing off and not working, and yet, as Ms. Jasheway explains, humor frees the mind and body to better do the jobs we have at hand. And unlike so many of the silly tools we are given at work in seminars or workshops, these are skills and tools that we can use anywhere to relieve stress and promote creativity. I highly recomend this book to anybody willing to lighten up a little and have more fun in their lives, both on the job and at home.

Few Laughs,

This review is from: Dont Get Mad Get Funny! (Paperback)
I expected a book of laughs -- and there were a few. It is a book for those who are really stressed out. I'm not.
