What inspired Mahatma Gandhi to say: "If I didn't have a sense of humor, I'd probably have killed myself long ago"? And how did Pierre Desproges find the strength to make such a nice pun about his own cancer: "Plus cancéreux que moi, tumeur! We'll try to answer these questions, and many others, by looking at the link between humor and our psyches. To do this, we'll explore a variety of topics: the origin of the word "humor", the differences between English and French humor, and the links between our personality and the way we use humor... By Arthur Durif Meunier, psychologist and psychotherapist, author of "Psychologie de l'Humour" (Dunod, 2024).
