The Humor Code


The 2014 book The Humor Code details my quest with a humor researcher Peter McGraw to discover the secret behind what makes things funny.

Our journey spanned the globe, from New York to Japan, from Palestine to the Amazon. We conducted our own humor experiments along the way—to wince-worthy, hilarious, and illuminating results.

The Humor Code garnered praise from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Booklist, and has been published in six languages.
