Laugh

Todays post from a book I have called Better Than Chocolate - 50 Proven ways to feel Happier (purchase it here), by Siimon Reynolds

This may seem a simplistic antidote to unhappiness, but there is plenty of evidence to support it as an effective one.  A classic case study on the effects of humor on wellbeing was written by Norman Cousins in his book Anatomy of an Illness

 Cousins suffered from a rare degenerative disease that he cured himself using a most unusual treatment, he watched comedies on TV for hours, read funny books and spend loads of time laughing each day.  Within months he was completely cured.  A true story.  And a great reminder of the healing power of laughter, even if it is systematically arranged.
