"Our conference was for 250 Turkish teachers and academicians from all over Turkey. One of the teachers wrote on her feedback form: "I had great fun in learning today, and I am going to carry everything I learned today to my classroom!"

When all the teachers who attended the conference start to use more humor in their classrooms, Mary Kay will have touched the lives of at least 5000 Turkish children! ”

Mary Kay is pleased to announce that her new book, "Using Humor to Maximize Living" will be published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, an academic press based in Maryland. This book is scheduled to be published in March 2012 in hardback, paperback, and electronic forms.


My Interactive Workshops include information about current brain research on humor and stress. They are designed to encourage individuals to enhance their humor practice.  This works much like improving one’s physical fitness lifestyle; in that there is an evaluation of your current humor practice followed by goal setting. 

Always Fun!
