The Psychology of Comedy de G. Neil Martin

The Psychology of Comedy: The Psychology of Everything

Autor G. Neil Martin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 aug 2021

What makes us laugh? Why is comedy so important? How does comedy affect our behaviour?

The Psychology of Comedy provides a unique insight into the role of laughter and humour in our lives. From the mechanics of comedy and what makes a good joke, to the health benefits of laughter, the book delves into different types of comedy, from slapstick to complex puns, and the physiological response it provokes. The dark side of comedy is also considered, confronting the idea that what is funny to some can be offensive to others, making this universal experience also highly subjective.　

In a time when comedy continues to be one of the most popular and enduring forms of art, The Psychology of Comedy reminds us that laughter really is good for the soul.

"Brilliant. The perfect guide to what’s going on in our heads while our faces are busy laughing"- Joel Morris, writer, the Ladybird book parodies, Viz, Charlie Brooker's Screenwipe, Paddington, Philomena Cunk
"A fun and informative romp that will put a smile on your face"- Professor Richard Wiseman, Professor of Psychology and creator of The Laugh Lab
"I have often found that the secret to comedy lies in the unexpected. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy a psychology book but I really enjoyed this one."- Phil Hughes, writer, Thunderpants, I Love Candy
"Many people don't realize how important comedy is across so many facets of our life. This is an entertaining and thorough compilation of everything and did and didn't want to know about comedy." - Kasha Patel, stand-up comedian and science writer for NASA.
