Laughter: A Tool in the Toolbox
In this episode, we talk about another tool in the toolbox-laughter. Laughter is a very strong and important tool in combatting depression.
The book of wisdom in the Old Testament, Proverbs(17:22) tells us that "a merry heart does good like medicine." Another translation is "a cheerful heart is good medicine."
There are many studies about laughter that have shown the importance humor can have in a person's health. It helps a person deal with high pressure and emotionally investing jobs.
There are laughter classes that are being offered that help many.
Toward the end of this episode are a few jokes that hopefully will make someone laugh.
