2010 AATH conference!

I just got back from the 23rd annual Association for Applied and Therapeutic Humor (AATH) conference and what an amazing time is was. There was a lot of learning, connecting, and of course laughing. I would highly recommend it to anyone who uses or would like to learn how to use humour and laughter in their lives (professional and personal.) From their website:

The AATH is an international community of professionals who incorporate humor into their daily lives. AATH is the leader in providing evidence-based information about current research and practical applications of humor.

Some choice quotes I heard:

• I am a recovering serious person
• Grin and share it
• Laugh till there’s tears running down your legs
• Don’t worry about a thing, do the best you can
• Laugh till it helps
• Laugh just before you take a test, you will do better
• Make the growth choice over the fear choice as often as possible
• Seize every opportunity for sharing kindness and joy
• Daily laughter (as little as 10 min) has significant and lasting benefits

Here is the video I made:
