  • Humor is something that transcends most barriers. It is a common unification; a concept understood by all. Despite this, there exists a large portion of the population that does not think they can utilize humor. Andrew Tarvin will show you that everyone can use humor.
    Andrew Tarvin is the world’s first Humor Engineer teaching people how to get better results while having more fun. He has worked with thousands of people at 200+ organizations, including P&G, GE, and Microsoft. Combining his background as a project manager at Procter & Gamble with his experience as an international comedian, Andrew’s program are engaging, entertaining, and most important, effective. He is a best-selling author, has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and TEDx, and has delivered programs in 50 states, 18 countries, and 3 continents. He loves the color orange and is obsessed with chocolate.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Summary of this video:
    1. Humor is a skill that you can learn through practice
    2. Humour is a way through which you can connect with other people but starting a conversation
    3. It helps you look at the world with a less serious attitude and it can be a great companion no matter where you stand in your life right now
    4. The world's not going to fall apart due to your bad jokes, so go ahead and let it out, you surely will get better with practice
    5. Humor allows you to vent out your stress, even if you do not want to say anything out loud you could always be funny in your head
    6. It all starts with a choice, a choice to be funny to look at the whole wide world with a different lens

Someone who was subject to or a witness of a traumatic event can be pulled out of an acute stress reaction if you can make them laugh. It's am amazing skill that I would love to learn.

    Personally I think comedy is the key to anyone’s heart. I used to be that guy in the corner, sad, and didn’t want anything to do with anyone in school. Then I told a joke to someone, they laughed. It felt so good to have someone take notice and have a positive reaction to me. Then I tried it again, and then I realised I had something with comedy and making people laugh.
    Comedy taught me confidence, and to just try. My saying is life is “If you have something funny to do or say, just do it.”

      That's exactly how teaching works. You need a familiar topic, known to everyone and then present a twist to it, something that matches the same pattern but people didn't know about it. What really happens is that we got confused for a moment, trying to make the connections and see the pattern, and when we "get it" - brain gives us cookies, because brain wants us to learn new things. Children learn new things every day, laughing up to 200 times a day. Because they're discovering something new. Jokes teach us a new perspective, and it makes us happy. This is the same reason that will make you smile, because you've learned something new...

    "But I've learned we're not our personality assessments." THIS. This is actually what took 2 years and more of my teenage life to find out that I was not just what MBTI test told me who I was. I was not just an introverted melancholic depressed girl who loves overthinks stuff. I was not someone who couldn't go out there and being the first who initiated to talk first to stranger. I was not excluded from the society, I was excluded myself from them. I was not rejected. And I was not special, neither I was different. I am just a girl, who still finds out who she is, and willing to learn and explore more about her world. This is such a precious talk. I love it.

      @@GuiPurri Twitter has never been a place that advocated for free speech. It has gotten worse though. People’s account being temporarily disable or permanently disable due to people posting jokes 5 years ago. Cancel culture is the worst of it. Examples include canceling a Mexican content creator for speaking Spanish. Ruining a mans life because he was cracking his knuckles out of context at a protest (the man wasn’t directing it at anybody). Canceling a minor content creator for having friends. It’s not all a terrible community with toxic people, but is certain has a large amount of people who get super offended at jokes.
