About This Book

A collection of practical essays argues that cheerfulness and laughter yield measurable benefits for body, mind, and social life, acting as a restorative tonic that eases anxiety and improves digestion, circulation, and resilience. Through medical observations, anecdotes, and everyday counsel, the author describes methods to cultivate a habit of optimism—smiling, finding small pleasures daily, using humor at work, and deliberately looking pleasant from the inside—and explains how sustained good humor can lubricate business relations, relieve worry, and uncover unexpected sources of joy.
