Why Normal Isn't Healthy: How to Find Heart, Meaning, Passion and Humor on the Road Most Traveled - Bowen Faville White - Paperback

As an "organizational physician," Dr. Bowen White addresses groups & businesses all across the country about topics dear to his heart--laughing, misbehaving, & making mistakes. All are crucial, writes this physician-comedian-philosopher, to creating healthier workplaces & building healthier lives. Believing that the greatest thing you can do for another is to help them help themselves, White's goal, both in his presentations & in Why Normal Isn't Healthy, is to help people tap their own potential for health, healing, & wholeness. Based on hundreds of enlightening, inspirational, & humor-filled presentations that White & his clown character, Dr. Jerko, have given to organizations throughout the world, Why Normal Isn't Healthy strives to reach people prior to crisis & create a safe environment to examine what's really important. How does White propose we accomplish this? With humor. "When we're laughing, we're open; our psyche is undefended & information sticks," he writes. And his prescription for narrowing our "funny gap"? Laugh more often. Don't take yourself too seriously. Help others, but focus on changing yourself.
