1. Ecuador’s New VP High on Humor 

The new vice-president of Ecuador, Lenin Moreno, is a big
believer in the power of humor. He tapped into the health 
benefits of laughter and humor after being hit by a carjacker’s 
bullet nine years ago. Since becoming a ”humor convert”, he’s 
authored a book on the subject and has spoken at conferences on 
the power of humor (including a joint appearance with Dr. Patch 
Adams). 

And now that he’s a big time political leader, Moreno wants to 
continue to tap into his sense of humor, even to make jokes
about himself and his political party. He also plans to 
communicate the importance of humor to employees of the state 
bureaucracy as a way to boost productivity and the quality of 
service to the public.

3. Quote of the Week 

"Good humor is a tonic for mind and body. It is the best antidote 
for anxiety and depression. It is the direct route to serenity 
and contentment." - Grenville Kleiser ((Kleiser (1868-1953), was 
a writer known for his writings on humor and attitude.))
