Event Description

Join Merv Neal, CEO of Laughter Yoga Australia and Australia’s Leading Laughter Expert, Gelotologist, and Laughie Practitioner as he discusses the book "The Positive Psychology of Laughter and Humour".
The book takes us on an action-packed journey spanning 4000 years of the history, science, and practice of laughter and humour framed within positive psychology. It is written from the standpoint of authors who not only believe that laughter and humour, including its intentional use, is a positive psychology powerhouse, but are keen to show why, and how.
One of the highlights is information shared about prescribing laughter and the one-minute Laughie (Laugh Intentionally Everyday) laughter prescription.
The Laughie aims to bring science and laughter together to benefit health. You will learn all about it in Merv’s presentation on the book and hear about his Laughie Challenge.
Oh and a few laughs along the way are guaranteed.
