The Overthinker's Guide to Joy | Why Laughter is the Best Medicine

Ep #37: Why Laughter is the Best Medicine

May 18, 2022

In my time working in the world of comedy as a drama television executive on sitcoms, I spent a lot of time with comedy writers, actors, and live audiences, and I’ve personally seen the immense power of laughter. More recently, I’ve been learning a lot from experts about the role laughter plays in our everyday lives. 

I’m sure you can recall an instance of hearing someone laugh and feeling this deep urge to know what was so funny. We all want to laugh because it just makes everything more fun, even the hard stuff. And while there’s so much subjectivity and interpretations of what’s funny, this week, I’m selling you on why laughter is the best medicine. 

Join me this week as I walk you through the emotional and physical benefits of laughter. If you can find the humor in the difficulty and occasional mundanity of life, I assure you, you are more likely to feel so much better. And guess what? It may even be the best way to manage a team, have successful relationships, and raise your kids.
