Meanderings with Trudy, "The Joy Diet" Chapter 8: Laughter

Laughter! That’s the focus of today’s meander, as we explore the third last chapter in Martha Beck’s book, “The Joy Diet: 10 daily practices for a happier life.” We visit a laughter yoga class from 2023 on Australia’s sunshine coast and hear from two laughter yoga teachers about the benefits of such a thing. There’s good science behind it too, that Beck explores in the book. I hope you’ll have a read of that, and explore her invitation to increase your quotient of laughs per day.

Feel free to share your thoughts with me at [email protected]. I’d love to hear how your work is going as we meander through these daily practices.
