More DescriptionNo one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. These cliches are commonly heard, but difficult to embrace given the competitive nature of our personal and professional lives. What's the antidote? Rule Number 6: lighten up. Humor and laughter are perhaps the best way we can "get over ourselves."

In this chapter, Rosamund and Ben Zander demonstrate how remembering to take ourselves less seriously can open up a world of possibilities.
