Robin Williams move over
This is a funny book and much more! Great humor to help relieve the sadness of recent events. Also very empowering. I'm a definite "type A" ... lead a very successful and stressful life.
By pumping up my sense of humor and using the author's tips I feel much more relaxed and in control of stuff. Another great side effect is I've discovered laughing my way to sleep helps me sleep soundly and wake up in a good mood. I now relish my nightly reading time. It's like having a good box of chocolates, without the guilt (I'm Catholic). And with my new humor muscle, no one's falling asleep on me any more during my presentations. My only complaint is that I will reach the end soon and there is no sequel yet. I just may read it again.

I recommend this book for presenters because
It is beneficial to presenters because:

It is an easy read, entertaining, funny & instructional. For anyone wanting to be a comedian, a professional speaker, or just wanting to add humor to their life, this is a must-read!

If you want to learn about laughing, personal benefits of humor, why we laugh, or how to see the funny side of life, this is a great place to start.

If you are a professional presenter, or want to be, this book takes you, step by step, through the hows and whys of finding and using humor.

It explains types of humor, how to remember and tell a joke, how to prepare and present your humor.

I have implemented several of Roger's tips in my presentations and in the Therapeutic Humor class that I teach.
