Summary:
Do you experience stress? Are you interested in better health and well-being? Do you pursue happiness? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you need to read this book. If you answered "no," you're in denial. All of us can use a little help to become happier or healthier. Unfortunately, the help we get is often too scary: "if you don't do this or that, some catastrophic event of epic proportions will happen." Isaac Prilleltensky's approach, in contrast, is to help you become healthier and happier through laughter. In this hilarious book, he combines humor with science to help you improve your well-being. Each chapter consists of the Laughing Side, a series of funny stories, and the Learning Side, a research-based, user-friendly guide to health and happiness. The first chapter provides an overview of well-being, while subsequent chapters cover each of its six domains: Interpersonal, Community, Occupational, Physical, Psychological, and Economic (I COPPE). When you finish the book you'll have a greater understanding of your life, and ways to make it better. Book jacket.
