This review is from: Laugh After Laugh: The Healing Power of Humor (Hardcover)
"Laughter and humor are phenomena which, in order to be understood, must be looked at and evaluated from numerous, interrelated perspectives."
Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr. was born on June 30, 1944. he taught philosophy at East Carolina University and conducted humor workshops throughout the country. In this book, the author traces the history of humor from the Biblical advice of "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," to modern examples of how laughter and humor have been shown to heal the body. Moody also shows how medicine relies too heavily on the technical science of medicine and overlooks our God-given ability to aid the healing process through the use of a good sense of humor. The contents include: A Doctor Looks at Laughter Healing By Humor: Some Examples Humor and Health: The History of an Idea Laughter and Disease Laughter and Madness The Pathology of Laughter: Occupational and Iatrogenic Causes Society and Healing Humor Why Humor Works Humor and the Healing Professions After reading the description of how a laugh occurs, how could you ever think of laughing in the same way? Have you ever wondered why you sometimes laugh until you cry? Why is it socially contagious? If you enjoy this book, you might also enjoy: Smilosophy by M.D. Gray ~The Rebecca Review |
