Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Through his own and other people's stories, Steve Rizzo reveals how humor can affect our perceptions of challenging circumstances and life's tragedies. He shows how humor can short circuit negative thoughts and emotions-before emotional and physical havoc can set in. Inside this book Steve gives us the tools we need to reprogram our way of thinking and to take control of our negative emotions. The only criterion is for each of us to love ourselves enough to choose to awaken and nurture our humor beings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now I want to become a humor being!, January 13, 2000

By A Customer

Everyone will benefit from this book. Steve Rizzo shows the reader how to laugh off fear, find humor in change and take a stressful situation and make it easier to deal with. This book would be especially beneficial to people who need to overcome some obstacle in their lives. Steve Rizzo shows us how to use humor to help with the most serious of topics. I especially like the personal story style of the book. It really helps the reader find a connection between the author's life and their own. Like I said in my title, Now I want to become a humor being!

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Changing, July 15, 2008

This review is from: Becoming A Humor Being: The Power To Choose A Better Way (Paperback)

This book has changed my life as well as everyone's that I have recommended it to. After reading Steve's advice, I now strive not to take life's little setbacks so seriously and to find the humor in difficult situations. I loved the book so much that I purchased Steve's PBS video and loved it even more! Now whenever I'm stuck in traffic I remember Steve's advice to "make it funny" instead of stressing out. I highly recommend both the book and the video to everyone who wants to learn a new approach to dealing with life's setbacks and irritations--large or small.
