Humor: Science of how to be funny

Mark Twain said, “Humor is mankind’s greatest blessing.” It is true, we all like to laugh, but why we laugh, what we find funny, and what physical, mental, and social benefits come with humor are not fully understood. Recently, humor has been more and more in the spotlight of modern science, and this course will shed light on what we know about humor.

This course will not only tell you scientific facts, but also provide an entire toolkit with proven techniques that you can employ to become funnier yourself!
