King combines a winning balance of accessible science, engaging stories, and comic relief to drive home a compelling message — Shelf Awareness

From a psychologist and stand-up comedian comes a practical, yet laugh- out-loud guide to embracing humor to reduce stress and live a happier, fuller life.

Dr. Brian King got a degree in psychology before becoming a world-touring comic and the host of humor therapy seminars attended by more than ten thousand people each year.

In this brilliant guide he presents hands-on techniques for managing stress by rewiring our brains to approach potentially difficult situations through a lens of positivity. To do so, Dr. King explores what stress is, where it comes from, and what it does to our bodies and brains. He delves deep into how to address everyday stress—as well as anxiety, insecurities, repression, and negativity—and gives insight into resulting ailments such as anxiety disorders, depression, hypertension, obesity, substance abuse disorders, and more. Dr. King’s techniques are chemical and cost free, and embrace humor, resilience, relaxation, optimism, gratitude, and acceptance. Instead of a dry medical approach to dealing with stress, this unique volume is filled with life-changing tips and instructions presented with humor and a wealth of memorable, smile-inducing anecdotes.

Dr. Brian King is an acclaimed public speaker, comedian, and author who travels the world as a performer and instructor. By day he conducts seminars, attended by more than ten thousand people each year, on positive psychology, the health benefits of humor, and stress management. By night he practices what he teaches in comedy clubs. He was the founder and producer of the highly reviewed Wharf Room Comedy show in San Francisco, and is the author of The Laughing Cure. Dr. King, together with his partner, Sarah, and their young daughter, travels regularly, but is based in Montreal, Canada.
