Through research and science, we know fun is enormously beneficial to our physical and psychological well-being, yet funs absence from our modern lives is striking. Whether youre a frustrated high-achiever trying to find a better work-life balance or seeking relief from lifes overwhelming challenges, it is time you gain access to the best medicine available.

That anthropology paper, written on race, class, and gender in the citys comedy scene, was, in Jenas own words, just as funny as it sounds.
