Review
"Having worked in the healthcare field, and specifically behavioral health, most of my adult life I have always believed in the adage that laughter is the best medicine. Jack's book highlights how important laughter is and offers a clear, easy to follow five step process for making sure we get the most out of life. Yes, as I read each of the five steps, I thought "I do that!", but I never considered them together as a well-rounded process. Thanks, Jack, for your endeavor to help people transcend life's daily issues and find the laughter in their journey!"

Jack's method, both simple and profound, fosters a mindset where laughter naturally counterbalances life's challenges, underscoring its vital role in personal development. This book transcends mere humor; it's a roadmap to cultivating resilience through laughter as a daily, intentional practice."

"In this wonderful little book, Jack Daly gives us a fun shot in the arm for coping with today's stressful world. His five-step "L.A.U.G.H." system is a daily practice focusing on laughter, which we all know is the best medicine, along with a few other key behaviors that are every bit as therapeutic. Perspective is everything, and Daly gives us good reasons to change ours to something more rewarding, providing us with a happy respite, in a way that makes these healthy habits automatic."

If you liked James Clear’s Atomic Habits or Mark Manson’s The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, you will love Laugh Out Loud; it provides the secret ingredient in life for coping and happiness that money can’t buy. Humanity is in a state of crisis and despair on a global scale. Despots are everywhere we turn, sowing and spewing their evil. Say nothing of the day-to-day stressors in life that we face.
As of the end of 2022, there were 85,253 self-help books available; however, only 5 percent of these books are scientifically tested to determine if the advice works. The self-help/improvement field addresses everything from attitude adjustment to post-partum depression to zeal wellness. The basis of Laugh Out Loud is laughter, which has proven – repeatedly – to work! The benefits of laughing are significant, as reported by the Mayo Clinic and detailed in the American Journal of Medical Sciences, aiding in stress management and depression relief, fighting allergies, cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, and boosting the immune system.
In Laugh Out Loud, I am giving you a tool, a guide, to use in your daily life so, at a minimum, you are provided a mere glimmer of hope, a distraction, a respite, something to grasp with both hands and cherish, to promote your wellbeing for the better, and ease your mind in these critically troubling times in our lifetime. Laugh Out Loud may not be a way out, but it is a way to cope if practiced. I promise that following the five steps in this guide will bring a smile to your face, a ray of sunshine to your heart, and at least a moment (if not several) of happiness to your life.
Happiness can be fleeting; however, laughter can be infectious. Declared life’s best medicine; get your prescription now! Why wait?
