"Some 20 years ago, when I first became interested in how people might add humor to their lives, I could find little, if any information. In the Presence of Humor was one of the first books I discovered on the subject. The ideas, insight, and inspiration in it are as fresh and rewarding today as they were then. I have treasured this book for many years and know you will too."
–Allen Klein
author of The Healing Power of Humor
and The Courage to Laugh
"Offers deep insight into the ability of humor to nourish the spirit. One of the best books about humor and spirituality that I've ever read."

From In the Presence of Humor:
"The comic hero portrays the resiliency of the human spirit. Twist it, bend it, stretch it, squeeze it, stomp it, hurl it, club it. Still, the spirit snaps back ready to go again."

"Humor approaches life from the viewpoint that setbacks are transient or temporary. It knows that recovery is integral to life. Indeed, humor knows that recovering is the norm." |
