It's OK to laugh
In our modern world, chronic diseases in all their forms touch more
lives than ever before. And the causes are endless-from poisonous
food, air, and water to soul-sucking personal relationships to toxic
workplace cultures.
When Dr. Jeff Norman was given a deadly serious diagnosis of
end-stage kidney disease in 2003, he was told there was nothing-
short of dialysis or a transplant-that he could do to improve his
condition. So he laughed. And laughed. And laughed.
Following a revolutionary four-week program of laughter therapy,
he was not only able to improve his "unimprovable" disease to the
point where he could compete in four triathlons-he discovered the
power to change his life and the lives of others forever.
"Dr. Norman, (aka the Laughter Guru) has performed a hat trick
with this book-managing to be hilarious, heartfelt, and eminently
practical all at the same time. Buy this book if you want to feel better."
- Richard Paul Evans, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"This heartfelt book, based on research and experience, demon-
strates how important the power of laughter can be in the thera-
peutic process, elevating it to a front-line defense in the battle to
improve not only emotional but physical health for the individual
and their ecosystem. If you are searching for hope and humor in the
midst of healing, start here."
