In the national bestseller Flow, University of Chicago psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi suggests two key factors determine our overall happiness:
- Our relations with other people
- How we experience our work
You can improve both areas by bringing humor to work each day.
Harvard Business Review (September 2003) reports that executives with a sense of humor climb the corporate ladder more quickly and earn more money than their counterparts.
A good laugh reduces blood pressure, increases heart rate, massages internal organs and reduces the levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood. It boosts blood flow to your brain, which means you learn more, forget less and feed your curiosity.
While the advantages of a good sense of humor at work are many, there is a dark side that can backfire. How can you be funny without being a jerk?

Anyone with workplace experience knows men and women process information and communicate differently. Dealing with gender differences can prove challenging, especially for managers and leaders.
Regardless of which industry you’re in or the position you fill, male and female coworkers can experience a shared event and come away with different emotional stories.
We seem to be hardwired this way. Now that neuroscience is becoming more sophisticated, with tools like brain imaging, what are we learning about the gender divide?
Here are the key findings:
- Emotions are useful. They make the brain pay attention.
