Laughing for no reason is a hard concept to grasp, but this book makes it real. I loved the blend of practical tools, real-life stories, and physiological science. The personal stories make it come alive, from Lesley's story of how she came to teach laughter yoga, to the stories of people who were helped by it. My favorite is the one about the lady who released years of pent-up rage in 5 minutes by venting at her ex-husband in Gibberish. You will never say, "I have nothing to laugh about" after you read this book.You will have tools to give yourself the mind-body experience you want instead of waiting for the world to give it to you.
Self-help books tend to be very earnest and intense, this one however is about lightning up. It talks about the great value of laughter not only to improving your mental state but your physical state as well. The hormones released by laughing relax the blood vessels, lower your blood pressure ¬and reduce other markers of stress. The good news is that you can fake it till you make it. Faking or forcing laughter, it turns out, gives you pretty much the same benefits as doing the real thing spontaneously. The author went to India to study with the originator of laughter yoga, which has been catching on around the world because it's fun as well as healthful. So how about it, let's gather in groups and get our giggle on!
I bought this book thinking laughter yoga ...was well something to be laughed at. However after reading this book and trying laughter yoga for myself I have to say I am convinced by it.This is a great book which has been written by someone who has clearly researched their subject and have a love for it. It leads you wishing there were more wannabe Santa Claus's out there HO HO HO
