The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny
Join Professor Peter McGraw and writer Joel Warner on an epic quest to uncover the secret behind what makes us laugh. With 19 experiments, five continents, and over 91,000 miles of travel, they shed fascinating light on the psychology of humor.
This book explains the theory that answers the question "what makes things funny?" and reveals surprising insights into why some jokes are funnier than others. From the world's largest comedy festival to original research from the Humor Research Lab at the University of Colorado Boulder, The Humor Code is a hilarious and thought-provoking read.
