Dr. Happ takes a light look at such pressing questions as, “Why can’t
I tickle myself?”, and “Can I learn to laugh more?” But,
this is more than a presentation for the curious about the health benefits
of laughter. How many people have forgotten how to laugh? When was the last
time you laughed for no reason? Like any other skill, laughter takes practice.
This smiles-on session introduces the concepts of the Laughter Club and encourages
the audience to spread the joy of laughter with practical exercises. During
the session, you will also get a smile tune-up, learn three ways to use laughter
to improve your mental and physical health, and practice six methods for increasing
laughter everyday of your life. The results? You may have sore smile muscles
for a few days and you may change your outlook for the future. One audience
brought lively laughter to their church so that visitors really know they are
welcome at a happy church.
