Following on from my post a few days ago about “walking, talking and laughing” I came across the following post about laughter clubs in the news.
If you can bear with the initial (possibly) “fake” laughter in the news-clip, you’ll see that this is backed up by science. And I mean no insult when I talk about fake laughter, because you’ll hear in the clip that the well-being effect is even induced by fake laughter.
More on laughter’s therapeutic effect.
So…. next time someone sends you a corny joke in your email, enjoy it anyway. A good belly laugh is just what the doctor ordered.
