“Using humor in the face of failure can help us manage our emotions so we can learn from our mistakes and bounce back quickly, decreasing the transition time from one failure to the next attempt.

And yet, our capacity to take in and process new information – to generate new insights and true growth – shuts down in response to the fear of letting people down. Laughter opens us up again.”
