As the daily stress in most of our lives has mounted in recent years, most people find that their sense of humor abandons them right when they need it the most—in the midst of stress. Now, an exciting new Humor Training Program, called the 7 Humor Habits Program, has helped thousands learn to use humor to cope. The effectiveness of the program has now been documented in 5 countries. It boosts emotional resilience, life satisfaction and enables you to maintain a positive mood and more optimistic outlook in your daily life—and it helps you cope with any problems thrown your way. Dr. McGhee's 4-month-long series of online radio broadcasts in 2012 showed seniors how to boost their humor skills and learn to use humor to cope. (Click on "Humor Training Exercises," starting with the January 23, 2012 article, to see humor-building suggestions that accompanied those broadcasts.
