About this listen

 It is often said that "laughter is the best medicine," but this aphorism only hints at the power inherent in humor. "Humor's Hidden Power" reveals how humor has been utilized as a tool to overcome overwhelming circumstances throughout history, how laughter changes brain chemistry and functioning, how the genders use humor differently, and the ways in which comedians have used humor to heal themselves and others through the ages (from court jesters to Stephen Colbert).

"Humor's Hidden Power" consolidates and clarifies much of what has already been written, reveals what has been newly reported in the fields of neuroscience and humor studies, and provides recommendations for the targeted use of humor to combat the most common sources of suffering.

"An intensely engaging and fascinating examination of the vital role humor plays in health and happiness."
~Joe Dea, Emmy Award-Winning Director

"'Humor's Hidden Power' is a significant contribution to the existing literature on the healthful benefits of humor. Backing her claims with solid scientific research, Nichole Force makes a serious case that laughter really is the best medicine."
~Dr. Michael Pariser, Psy.D. Psychologist and Psychoanalyst, Los Angeles, CA

"'Humor's Hidden Power' is an informative, intriguing and thoroughly enlightening book. A must-read for all who love humor, and those who have yet to discover its joys and rewards."
~Victor Schulte, Los Angeles Deputy City Attorney
