So glad I ordered a copy of Dr. Kataria's latest book, LAUGHTER YOGA, Daily Laughter Practices for Health and Happiness.Newbies to the world of Laughter Yoga will learn a lot from reading this book. It serves as an excellent introduction to Laughter Yoga for the novice, as well as being a great little book to have for Laughter Yoga professionals such as myself. Readers will learn about the history, benefits, studies and applications of Laughter Yoga and will be greatly encouraged to try Laughter Yoga at a community club or at a laughter session.Whichever ancient Greek first said, "Laughter is the best medicine" - He was right! It has been proven to be a world-beating stress reliever with huge benefits for our physical and mental well-being. It is also a perfect antidote to the negativity in the world.This book encourages us to laugh every day, to use that laughter to lift our spirits and become more joyful, and to light a lamp for others to see how they too can sweeten life with more laughter.We are all victims of shallow breathing, as we sit at our computers or do non-strenuous activities. Laughter forces fresh oxygen into our lungs. Dr. Kataria explains this so well in Chapter 3. "When we inhale to the maximum and keep laughing until we are out of breath, that state is called vital capacity laughter." He goes on to explain the power of the breath in Laughter Yoga and how it can be compared to any aerobic exercise with increases the heart rate and blood circulation, which also improves oxygenation."Laughing for as long as possible helps keep the lung cells healthy and uses the abdominal muscles even in the absence of strenuous physical workouts."The doctor has also included easy laughter exercises to follow and testimonials from people around the world who have been able to manage their stress, pain and challenges much better since having committed to a regular laughter practice.Once again, I am reminded of the reasons why for the past four years, I have also become a mindful, daily laugher.Thank you Dr. Kataria, for creating such wonderful book on how to share the blessings of laughter in our neighborhood and throughout our wonderful world!

Reading the Laughter yoga book, as well as joining a Laughter Yoga International Club, and Leader Training has changed my life! My stress levels are lower, and I smile and laugh more than I ever have. I highly recommend the book, as well as joining the Laughter Yoga club with Dr. Kataria. He and his stellar team are welcoming and genuinely kind people whose mission is to spread health, joy, and laughter to all. By doing so, we can bring peace to the world.

Dr Kataria has written both a truly professional, comprehensive book about Laughter Yoga, but also one that is useable and practical. An excellent resource for students of Laughter Yoga, but also for anyone who enjoys laughter yoga or anyone who is interested in exploring this incredible and holistic natural way of living wholly and healthily in our bodies and in the world, with it's many applications and making an impact for world peace. Everything is covered in this wonderful piece of work, including psychology and physiology and much much more. There is so much in this book and every piece of writing is relevant, interesting and tested and highly credible. I cannot rave enough about Dr Kataria's book. You need to purchase it to experience how much you will gain from reading it! All gratitude to you Dr Madan Kataria.

Laughter Yoga is a great technique to connect with joy and uplift your spirits. In this book, Dr. Kataria, the founder of the Laughter Yoga movement, provides us with a very well structured guide to approach LY for everyone, whether you’re a first timer or an advanced practitioner. It’s a useful and full of knowledge tool for everyone interested in feeling younger, healthier and happier. LY has already changed the life of many people and I’m sure this book will change the lives of many more around the world.

I don’t like information repeated multiple times and found that to be ongoing in this book. I liked his sincerity and desire for others to benefit from laughter yoga, I just don’t personally care to read things restated over and over.

I practice Laughter Yoga and I am sorry I didn't purchase this book sooner. This book really gives you the best explanation of how Laughter Yoga really works to better your health. Great book.

and his explanation and journey works swell and being a student of his and now a teacher of LY it makes all the more importance to have a book or bible about the entire movement!
