Description
Book SynopsisHumor is complex, and the author, Mitch Earleywine, does an exceptional job of covering the big bases of humor from a research perspective in a small space with a readable content. When I first picked up this book and began reading it, I was looking for depth. What I found was an overview and at the same time a very exciting way to provide an entrvàe into psychology-a vehicle for students to grab hold of topics central to psychology but studiedand researched in terms of modern themes, and particularly humor. --PsycCRITIQUES
I''ve just finished reading Humor 101 with great interest and admiration. The book combines psychological research and practicality beautifully and humorously.
