In this episode, Kamini Wood explores the science behind humor, revealing that laughter is far more than just a fun distraction—it's a powerful, scientifically-backed tool for enhancing happiness and reducing stress. She shares fascinating research, including a study where daily humor therapy significantly increased participants' happiness and reduced physical pain. Kamini explains the physiological effects of laughter, such as the reduction of stress hormones like cortisol and the release of feel-good endorphins. She also makes a crucial distinction between positive, uplifting humor that fosters connection and negative, sarcastic humor that can lead to bitterness.
