It approaches laughter as a body exercise so it's easy to laugh even if you're depressed or in a bad mood. . . . I've tried it, and it works." <b>--Oprah Winfrey</b> <p/> "I can't think of any other mind-body technique that has caught on this way. I told [the] American Senate Committee during a hearing about healthcare reform that laughter yoga could help lower American healthcare costs." <b>--Andrew Weil, M.D.</b> <p/> "Laughter yoga exemplifies a form of 'right-brain thinking' that managers should promote." <b>--Daniel H. Pink, <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>A Whole New Mind</i></b> <p/> "Laughter connects you with people. It's almost impossible to maintain any kind of distance or any sense of social hierarchy when you're just howling with laughter. Laughter is a force for democracy." --<b>John Cleese, after visiting a laughter club in Mumbai during the filming of BBC's TV series <i>The Human Face</i></b><br> <i> </i><br> "An ideal tool for complete body-mind wellness . . . Laughter increases the supply of oxygen to body tissues, boosts immunity, relieves pain, lowers stress, and even helps protect against heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, migraines, and cancer. It is a powerful technique: safe, easy, and a lot of fun." <b>--Andrew Weil, M.D., from the Foreword</b> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <b>Madan Kataria, M.D.</b>, the guru of giggling (<i>The Times, </i> U.K.), is the founder of the laughter yoga club movement that started in 1995 in Mumbai.
