This review is from: Jokes: Their Purpose and Meaning (Hardcover)
Trained as a psychologist Herbert Strean has spent his whole life telling jokes. He believes that the jokes we like reflect who we are as people. His book is full of jokes that relate to areas and aspects of life that many of us find challenging. Herbert Strean believes that taking a humerus view towards the things in life that we find awkward can be healthy. My interest in this book is as a blossoming stand up comedian. I have read a number of books on how to write humor and this book gives me a psychological perspective to joke telling that I have not found in other books. I have found Herbert Strean writes in plain language style which is easy to read. His is a book that I have thoroughly enjoyed.
