The Laughter Effect: How to Build Joy, Resilience, and Positivity in Your Life

In The Laughter Effect, Ros Ben-Moshe provides a roadmap to tap into the lighter side of life with laughter therapy. Ben-Moshe shares tips and tools to achieve an intentional state of being she calls the Laughter Effect—a way to elevate mindfulness, gratitude, and self-compassion. When used regularly, it enhances resilience to stress, enabling you to respond to adversity and bounce forward with humor, levity, and grace. Drawing on research from around the world, practice and wisdom from humor and laughter therapy, and positive psychology and neuroscience, Ben-Moshe shows you how to use the energy of laughter and joy to counter stress hormones and stimulate a daily dose of positive wellbeing with “happy hormones.” The techniques, strategies, and practices you’ll learn can transform your physical, mental, social, and emotional landscape. Viewing life through a laughter lens will awaken a positive change in yourself, how you respond to the world, and, in turn, how the world responds to you.
