From a comedian and host of a hit TED podcast, a hilarious and enlightening guide to laughing your way into a fuller life. Ten years ago, when Chris Duffy was an exhausted fifth grade teacher, he taught the funniest person he''s ever met: 11-year-old Gary C. Gary was the school newspaper''s official food critic, blasting cafeteria pizza for looking like cardboard and alleging that the baked beans weren''t "beany" enough. These days, Duffy is a comedian and the host of a podcast with millions of listeners, but he''s never forgotten the joy of laughing with Gary during that bleak Boston winter. Gary taught him that a life without a sense of humor isn''t much of a life at all. With curiosity and wit, Duffy takes us on a journey to learn how a good laugh can bring us closer to the good life. When he endeavors to pay more attention to the world around him, he discovers that his once-dreary commute is laugh-out-loud funny: think a rider catching a pigeon with his bare hands and Duffy''s very own Russian mystic doppelganger. Using psychology and the wisdom of fellow comedians, Duffy reveals that a sense of humor can turn you into the kind of person others want to be around, someone who can be honest about their flaws without beating themselves up. It can teach us how to show up more generously in our most important relationships and how to handle the most painful parts of life without giving into despair. For anyone who has tried out meditation, a new year''s resolution or gratitude practice as a self-improvement strategy, HUMOR ME offers a fresh and exciting path to greater presence, creativity, connection and joy.

"Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster"

Brian Duffy a défini la photographie des années 1960. Il était aussi célèbre que les stars qu''il a photographiées. Avec David Bailey et Terence Donovan, il est reconnu comme l''un des grands novateurs de la photographie de mode, un style qui a révolutionné la photographie dans la mode, plus encore l''industrie de la mode.Les plus célèbres photographies de Duffy datent des années 1970, parmi lesquelles la pochette révolutionnaire et emblématique d''Aladdin Sane de Bowie, une prise de vue qui est entrée dans l''histoire sous le nom de Mona Lisa of Pop. Le photographe et la rock star ont collaboré sur quatre autres projets : Ziggy Stardust, The Man Who Fell to Earth, Scary Monsters (and Super Creeps) et Lodger. Ils ont travaillé ensemble lors des années phares de David Bowie ; quand le roi du glam rock s''est débarrassé de cette image, ce que Duffy a su immortaliser sur son appareil-photos.Écrit par Kevin Cann, le biographe de Bowie, Duffy par Bowie - cinq séances photos fourmille d''anecdotes et de commentaires de la part de ceux qui ont participé à ces séances - dont Tony Defries (manager de Bowie à l''époque de Ziggy Stardust), Celia Philo (designer) et Philip Castle (artiste de coiffure) pour la mythique séance d''Aladdin Sane ; Francis Newman (le directeur du studio de Duffy), May Routh (créatrice de costumes) pour The Man Who Fell to Earth ; Geoff MacCormack (musicien et ami d''enfance de David Bowie), Derek Boshier (directeur artistique de Lodger) et Natasha Kornilof (créatrice des costumes pour la séance de Scary Monsters).
