Humour, Seriously: Why Humour is a Superpower at Work and in Life
Humour is a superpower. If you're not using it, the joke's on you. When we're kids, we laugh all the time. The average four year-old laughs as many as 300 times a day, while the average forty year-old laughs 300 times every two and a half months! We grow up, start working and suddenly become "serious and important people", trading laughter for bottom lines, slide decks and mind-dumbing conference calls.
But the benefits of humour for our work and life are huge. Studies have shown that humour makes us appear more competent and confident, strengthens our relationships, unlocks creativity and boosts resilience during difficult times.
Here the authors are on a mission to help everyone discover the power of humour. This book will show you how to mine your life for material, explore the Four Deadly Humour Myths and help you figure out which style of humour you fall into - The Magnet, The Sweetheart, The Sniper or the Stand Up.
The world of digital media is constantly changing, as technologies continue to transform the way we interact and communicate on a global scale. This hot-off-the-press fully updated fifth edition provides a practical, no-nonsense guide to digital marketing, from strategy and digital transformation to best-practice basics and trends. Clear, informative and packed with case studies and examples, it gives an essential grounding in SEO, email marketing, social media, content marketing, voice-based marketing, influence marketing, data insights, privacy considerations and much more. Complete with first-hand account of what success in digital marketing looks like with new global case studies and expert views.
