Compelling and valuable therapeutic tool April 12, 2006

Reviewed by Paige Lovitt for Reader Views (4/06)
"The Fun Factor: Your Prescription for Stress Relief at Home" really provided me with a lot of insight into the value of humor. It also was interesting to see how humor can be abused. The author, Cheryl Nason, M.Ed., gives an interesting background on humor, including its history which she included back into biblical times. She also writes about cultures that saw the use of humor as sin.
Nason presents compelling information on why humor is useful at work and in learning situations. It is also valuable as a therapeutic tool. She offers ideas on how it can be utilized in ways that are beneficial at work, such as when trying to convince others to accept a new concept. She also discusses the etiquette that should be followed when utilizing humor as a tool. If humor is used inappropriately it can really affect a person's opinion about the presenter, causing the presenter to lose his audience.
Nason wrote this book in an easy to follow format. I found it useful to read just for myself, however, it is also written in a format that could be used by groups in continuing education settings. I would recommend it to those who are interested in the subject, the background information is really fascinating. I also recommend it to anyone who enjoys using humor in their presentations and would like to incorporate it in a way to be a more effective tool.
Fun Factor Targets Stress January 18, 2006

As a Registered Nurse who has dealt with a stressful career for 43 years, I found this book to be a wealth of information and practical solutions. Ms. Nason provides an insightful history of humor and its relationship to our professional and personal lives. I particularly enjoyed Chapter 8 which is entitled "Brain Aerobics"......where practical solutions are presented on stimulating one's brain....which I am hopeful will keep my brain active and alert as I focus on life as a senior citizen. One plus for professionals is the post-test provided....for which continuing education credits are granted. While this book is not a large one in size, it more than makes up for it in richness of content.....should be in every nurse's library!
