humor skeptic
your humor is a superpower!
As a Humor Skeptic, you know that, while there may be some nice benefits to using humor there are some serious dangers (especially in a professional environment). There’s a big difference between someone laughing WITH you versus someone laughing AT you.
Other people recognize that you are serious about what you do. They know that interactions with you will cut straight to the chase, even if it means forgoing the pleasantries.
Like philosopher Plato, rapper Kanye West (Ye?), and entrepreneur Steve Jobs, you can appreciate a good chuckle now and then, but you’re not entirely convinced that fun and games lead to the success you crave.

You might even think that laughter can sidetrack you from the stuff that truly counts. As a result, you zero in on the task at hand and find yourself in the company of like-minded, no-nonsense people. While others try to find joy, you concentrate on the work itself.
here’s some more good news!
Now that you know your humor persona, I, an(Drew) can help you master it in a way that will allow you to fully embrace your sense of humor without having to censor yourself or hinder your relationships with friends, family and coworkers.
what makes me so confident I can teach you?
I’ve been teaching people how to be funny’er for over a decade.
My TEDx talk has been viewed more than 14 million times. And I’ve had the privilege of working with such clients as Microsoft, the FBI, the U.S. Navy, ESPN, PepsiCo, GE, and the International Association of Canine Professionals (yes there were dogs in the audience ).
Don’t worry, I got you.
humor is a language we all speak…
Whether it’s “hahaha” in English, “jajaja” in Spanish, “55555” in Thai or “wwww” in Japanese, humor is a language we all speak.
I know this because I’ve spoken to hundreds of thousands of people all around the world. And even though the language changes, the message always resonates.
Humor connects. It builds trust, defuses tension and creates a positive shared experience that brings people closer together. Humor forces you to put your guard down, to stop being defensive and become more receptive. It’s like a little reminder in your brain that says “let’s have an open mind here.”
And humor is just so… much… fun… What is laughter if not the physical expression of joy?
so how do we unlock this incredible skill?
I went ahead and distilled down all of the actionable information in all of my books, keynote presentations and workshops. And condensed it down into a short, insightful and actionable course.
It is exactly what I would teach you if you were sitting here, next to me.

why a humor course?
why not self help books? or team building? or karaoke?
No one really thinks of humor as a bad thing.
Most people think of it as a nice to-have: “Sure, I’d love to enjoy my life and work more.” But in today’s overworked, underappreciated, stress-filled, sleep-deprived world… humor is a must-have.
The perception is that humor is somehow innate. As if it’s encoded in our DNA. That people are “naturally funny,” and if you’re not one of the lucky few, well then good luck ever pulling it off.
But the truth is far different; the truth is that humor can be learned.
I’ll show you how.
real-world applications
I want to first acknowledge that, indeed, humor isn’t the only way.
Common “wisdom” around productivity dictates that in order to achieve anything worth while is to wake up every morning at 4AM, do 7 shots of expresso, followed by 3 hours of high-intensity crossfit yoga training with just a little bit of LSD, and you will be 0.7% more productive.
Yeah, you could do all of that, OR you could laugh a little more.
What if the secret was, indeed, so simple, so… human?
It’s almost as if we had this built-in system to help ourselves relieve stress.

This ain’t a “sit back and read” type of ebook, this is a pick up a pen (or keyboard in this case) and work. No fluff. No tangents. There’s a reason it’s called a play book – it contains strategies and techniques as opposed to just knowledge (book book) or just exercises (workbook). Plus, it’s all about bringing a bit more play to your life.
