The Fun Factor: Unleashing the Power of Humor at Home and on the Job

Of all the factors which impact daily life and modern business, the one most clearly in short supply these days is a sense of humor -- which author Dr. Clifford Kuhn calls the Fun Factor. Why are we so unnaturally glum? The reasons are debatable, but the solution is not; it's a simple matter, according to Dr. Kuhn, of recognizing and energizing our innate humor nature. Here in The Fun Factor Dr. Kuhn sets forth a blueprint for recapturing our sense of humor, and applying it at home and at work to boost productivity and creativity, revive mental and physical health, enhance relationships, and find the positive, happy core that was in us at birth. In addition, Dr. Kuhn suggests practical, real-world ways for companies to use the Fun Factor to create high company morale, engender personnel loyalty, increase productivity, and build a problem-solving, team-building workforce.
