Summary: The best medicine I ever took!
Review: I bought this book because a friend of mine suggested it. I was very depressed at the time and life just wasn't going my way. I needed to be able to step back and get a different perspective and be able to make a plan for a brighter future. This book was the best thing that ever happened to me. It really makes you think about the choices you make. Also some of the stories in this book really do make you laugh and think about life differently. I recommend this book to anyone who thinks life isn't going the way it should because it's like a life - manual. Since reading it I look at life entirely differently. I'm happier.

Summary: laughing my way across the ocean....
Review: I took this book with me on a trip I took to Europe last summer. I had it read in less than two days. It was very entertaining and kept my attention but more than that I found it to be very insightful. The stories she has in there about her family really crack me up because they could be my family too. At times I laughed out loud reading them. I am a college student right now and would recommend this book to college students to help them cope with the stress that comes with attending college. I think anyone could benefit from using a little more laughter in life. After all laughter really is the best medicine. I was not aware of how instrumental laughter is to our health. Read this book and find great ways to add laughter to your days.

Summary: Fabulous outlook on the importance of humor in life!
Review: I was introduced to Serious Laughter as a required text book for a Scriptwriting class. When I started reading it, I couldn't put it down! I found the stories that Yvonne wrote about her family and life experiences to be so refreshingly funny. The facts used about the effects of humor in work, and in life, are something that everyone should become aware of. The exercises and quizes made me take a better look into my own life and how important humor is in it. The book gave me the motivation to use those Humor Tools in life and realize the things I had to add to my Joy List. I never thought a required text book for a class could have such a powerful effect on my personal life, but Serious Laughter is a definate keeper! I have recommended the book to several friends as a must read!

Summary: Family Fun
Review: This book has given me a new insight into what humor is all about.For the longest time I was always feeling sorry for myself. Since reading this book I realize it's just all the way you look at it. This book helped me see that being funny and humorous is not a denial of sadness it is a way to view things. I've seen that with my kids. Everything is just the way you see it. If you can let things roll off and just laugh about them - see them from a different point of view, you can get through it easier. I sing when I vaccume to make my three year old laugh - she gets the biggeset kick about it. It just makes everything better. Life is just better.
