Summary: This book is laugh out loud funny and effective.
Review: It gives you many ideas how you can be more funnier. The techniques are really worth a lot. On first reading you will not recognize the power, but it develops great. There are lame jokes in there, but many WILL be good, if you don't read them in a book, but perform them for your friends. END

Summary: Robin Williams move over
Review: 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.
