Courtney Chege’s Reviews > Humor Me: How Laughing More Can Make You Present, Creative, Connected, and Happy > Status Update

“Humor is a way of addressing reality while shifting our relationship to it. It reverse-engineers despair into hope.”

“It’s a life where the parts of yourself they you’re most ashamed of are actually your greatest strengths. A life where you have deeper, more honest connections, which are also fun and easy. It’s a life where you can walk into a crowded party and, instead of immediately pouring panic sweat, know that whatever you say is going to lead to a great conversation.”

“Making the choice to take humor seriously, to work to cultivate it - it changed everything for me. It would take me years to recognize the larger philosophy behind my epiphany, namely, that a sense of humor is a portal to a better life.”
