From a psychologist and stand-up comedian comes a practical, yet
laugh-out-loud guide to embracing humor to reduce stress and live a
happier, fuller life.
Dr. Brian King got a degree in psychology before becoming a
world-touring comic and the host of humor therapy seminars attended by
more than ten thousand people each year. In this brilliant guide he
presents hands-on techniques for managing stress by rewiring our brains
to approach potentially difficult situations through a lens of
positivity. To do so, Dr. Brian explores what stress is, where it comes
from, and what it does to our bodies and brains. He delves deep into how
to address everyday stress--as well as anxiety, insecurities,
repression, and negativity--and gives insight into resulting ailments
such as anxiety disorders, depression, hypertension, obesity, substance
abuse disorders, and more. Dr. Brian's techniques are chemical and cost
free, and embrace humor, resilience, relaxation, optimism, gratitude,
and acceptance. Instead of a dry medical approach to dealing with
stress, this unique volume is filled with life-changing tips and
instructions presented with humor and a wealth of memorable,
smile-inducing anecdotes.
