After finishing 2/3rds of the book, I've surprisingly come across only one tiny reference to it. :-( Glad to hear from you again! I totally agree with you about the role of laughter.

I've always been a proactive person, even though I hadn't known it to be true for a long time. It wasn't until I took my first psych class that I came to understand some of the personality traits I possessed that contributed to my stress-free nature. I take objective looks at reality and deal with the things in my control before I start to worry about the things that are beyond my reach. Even the things that aren't in my control are usually manageable. I admit the occasional final exam has me stressing a bit, but usually I can handle a huge workload because I know how to manage it. I hope good humor is included in those seven habits you're analyzing, because there is nothing more important than being able to laugh at your mistakes, laugh when its funny, and to just laugh because it's the only thing we can really do in this mad world. That would be the first of my seven habits if I could come up with six more. Couldn’t agree with you more my friend.
