About this episode
There’s nothing like getting together with some friends and having a good belly laugh.Or watching a show and just laughing out loud.
Laughing is more than a physical response to something funny, laughter is an antidote for anxiety, stress, and other health issues. Studies show that people who have a sense of humor actually live longer!
Laughter is also a way for us to communicate with each other. It breaks social barriers and builds connections with others even when we don’t speak the same language or have the same views.
How do you know if you’re laughing enough, and what about laughing more? Is there such a thing as a laughing practice?
Today’s guest is Ros Ben-Moshair. She has spent over 2 decades researching, writing, and teaching about the benefits of laughter. She is the author of The Laughter Effect.She is an adjunct lecturer in the School of Public Health and Psychology at La Trobe University in Australia, where she teaches Positive Psychology and the world’s first Laughter, Resilience and Wellbeing short course for professionals
