Features: The great humorist Charlie Chaplin once said: Humor is the highest expression of wisdom, and those who possess a sense of humor are most charming. They can not only get along well with others but, more importantly, lead a happy life. And who was the humorist Chaplin most admired? It was the man he called the "father of humor studies in America" — Robert Stern. Stern is a psychology professor at Stanford University in the United States and is a specialist who studies "humor." Interestingly, during World War II, many soldiers heading to the European battlefield carried only two books with them: one was the Bible, and the other was this Art of Humor. Through this Art of Humor, Robert Stern explains to us that humor is a symbol of a person's character, ability, and wisdom. It is a form of cultivation; humor is used to heal, not to harm. Humor is love! In short, humor is a positive attitude toward life, filling life with joy, warmth, love, and hope.
