    BONUS: How to be funny? (the Psychology Professor's view)

    Prof Janet Gibson wrote the book on the psychology of humour. We chat about why laughter and humour are essential to our wellbeing and success, how a blueprint of a joke looks like and the 7 steps I can take to get better at being funny (the scientifically proven way!)  This is the bonus material of that episode. We talk about Scrooge, aliens, Vulcans and Artificial Intelligence humour. If you haven’t already, please review us on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your podcast app of choice! I'm only at the start of this journey and any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Plus, it’s an important way to help new listeners discover the show. Sponsors: nobody yet (told you, a labour of love).
