Good to focus on, difficult to execute,

This review is from: Laughing Nine to Five: The Quest for Humor in the Workplace (Paperback)
I used this book a few years back while working on my MBA and found it an easy read, but I found difficulty in finding proper ways for this to fit into my workplace. I think the biggest focus of the book is for one's self to lighten up and see the brighter side of things, so while I may have been hoping to lighten up the whole office, the focus more so ended up being just for me.
