Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Since my first edition of this book, I've learned a lot about book production and typo management. Miss Zelda, who graces the cover, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge and lots of other unfunny things have gone on. What hasn't changed is the human need to laugh or smile, build up our resilience, and move forward. Here's hoping you'll find some resilience-building enjoyment in this final edition.  (unless there is some terrible typo or table of contents snafu again!)

By the end of that year, she became a certified Laughter Yoga Leader, had her mind blown at a conference called "Can Humor Save the World" and studied the Psychology of Laughter at Rutgers University. She added certification in Laughter Wellness, studied the Science of Happinessthrough The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, joined theAssociation for Applied & Therapeutic Humor (AATH) and has been presenting laughter for the health of it through her Smile Side of Life Laughter & Happiness Club presentations ever since. Noreen is an instructor at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

In 2010, Noreen Braman—who had already reinvented herself in 1997 after a contentious divorce—was reeling from a corporate downsizing, dealing with a economic recession of historic proportions, and facing her own midlife issues. Soon her skills as a strategic communications professional, humorist and performer would send her in a new direction.

By the end of that year, she became a certified Laughter Yoga Leader, had her mind blown at a conference called “Can Humor Save the World” and studied the Psychology of Laughter at Rutgers University. She added certification in Laughter Wellness, studied the Science of Happiness through The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley, joined the Association for Applied & Therapeutic Humor (AATH) and has been presenting laughter for the health of it through her Smile Side of Life Laughter & Happiness Club presentations ever since. She continues to add to her knowledge base through continuing education and certifications, workshops, conferences and seminars.

Noreen credits Dr. Paul McGhee’s book “Humor as Survival Training for a Stressed Out World" as well as Linda Richman's "I'd Rather Laugh: How to Be Happy Even if Life has Other Plans for You," for helping her understand the importance of humor and laughter to all humans. With the physical and emotional health benefits that come with humor, laughter and mindfulness, Noreen deals with her fibromyalgia and thyroid disease with humor, reminding us all that yesterday’s problem can be today’s funny story.

Noreen is an instructor at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Rutgers University.

As a writer who writes both family humor and horror, she admires Shirley Jackson, who may have pioneered that particular combination of writing genres.
