What goes ha ha bonk? - Someone laughing their head off. (or should that be ‘lol bonk’ these days?)
Two aerials meet on a roof, fall in love get married. The ceremony wasn’t much but the reception was brilliant.
In 1979 Norman Cousins, a journalist published a book called Anatomy of an Illness as Perceived by the Patient. In it Cousins describes how he suffered from inflammatory arthritis, a painful and debilitating illness. He also describes how with the aid of Marx brothers films he was able to reduce the pain and the inflammation, eventually returning to work.
So can humour or humor if you are American (you missed out the most important part of humor - u!) really increase our emotional resilience?
Does laughing help us overcome fear and reduce pain? In the next few articles (in http://www.fearcourse.com/articles-and-notes.html) and blogs I will review the evidence and have a few chuckles along the way.
Knock, Knock
