Did you know that children laugh over 100 times a day, while adults do only for a maximum of 15 times? If you feel like you could do with a fun lesson on the importance of humour, attend a session titled Art of Humour this weekend.
Organised by philosophy school New Acropolis, the session will be conducted by 43-year-old Sivan Barzilay, a veterinarian by profession and an instructor at the school. She holds a diploma in eastern and western philosophy. In the two-hour session, Barzilay will narrate stories and use practical tools to spice up the discussion. The idea is to help you understand humour, to use it as a tool in times of crisis. &ldquo;Humour is a human quality. Many traditions have told stories that evoked laughter, maybe because they understood the importance of it in the life of an individual and in society,&rdquo; says Barzilay, adding, &ldquo;Laughter is also considered a remedy for many illnesses; in psychology, it is considered as a communication tool.&rdquo; She also reveals that humour breaks down the defences of the ego. The session is open to all.
