25 分钟Hi Matt here.
If you want to continue finding tools to a successful and happy life, I recommend listening to the happiness lab hosted by Yale professor Doctor Lori Santos.
Doctor Santos has studied the science of happiness and has found that many of us do the exact opposite of what will make our lives better.
Based on the psychology course she teaches at Yale, she will take you through the latest scientific research and share some surprising stories that will change the way you think about happiness.
This season, shes tackling topics that affect her own life like stress, perfectionism and boredom.
If you struggle with any of those, or if it sounds like you could learn more about increasing happiness in your life, then listen to the happiness lab right here in your podcast player.
Hello, im Matt Abrahams and I teach strategic communication at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
Welcome to think fast.
Talk smart.
The podcast humor is like a swiss army knife.
It allows you to connect with your audience.
It can diffuse tension, elevate status, compel others to your point of view.
Humor can help you and your message stand out.
Yet most of us hesitate to use humor, especially in our professional lives.
To learn more about the power of humor and how to better use this tool, I am thrilled to be joined by Jennifer Aker and Naomi Bagdonis, who together have just written the book humor seriously and they also teach the wildly popular GSB class, serious business.
Jennifer is the general Atlantic professor at Stanford Graduate School of Business.
She's the author of the award winning Dragonfly Effect.
Naomi is a lecturer at Stanford and runs a strategy and media consulting company, coaching CEO's and celebrities on how to appear best in front of the media.
She trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade and teaches courses about humor at the GSB and the San Francisco county jail.
Thank you Jennifer and Naomi for being here.
