Laughter: A Scientific Investigation by Robert R. Provine Price: EUR 14,95
Is it really the best medicine? Neurobiologist Robert R. Provine discovered that no scientist had ever looked into the weird, uncontrollable, and very human phenomenon of laughter, so he started off on his own. Laughter: A Scientific Investigation is his warm and--of course--funny report on how and why we giggle and snort with such regularity. Basing his views on field research conducted in a broad array of social situations (laughter being notoriously difficult to evoke in the laboratory), Provine posits that we use it as a universal, preverbal means of communication. Though animal research is controversial, it suggests that apes establish and maintain relationships using laughlike behavior, so it could be the missing link between animal communication and true language. He also explores instances in which we seem to laugh our way into and out of social situations, and includes a list of tips for keeping the laughs flowing. The irony of the scientific community not taking laughter seriously isn't lost on Provine, and he takes every opportunity to remind his fellows that even the seemingly most trivial matters can hide the most profound truths. If that isn't funny, what is?

The healing powers of laughter have been acknowledged in the most ancient of cultures, from Greece to north-east Asia to South America. Today leading doctors are again recognizing the importance of laughter as an effective antidote to stress. In this book, the author shows how laughter should be valued as a basic need - as important as love and life itself - and he presents more than 50 prescriptions for feeling good again, celebrating being alive, enhancing loving relationships, embracing health and happiness, profiting from fun and play at work, improving your laughter-life and enjoying new beginnings. Two years after he launched the first-ever Stress Buster clinic on the National Health Service in Great Britain in 1989, Robert Holden pioneered the first ever NHS laughter clinic. He also wrote "Stress Busters".
