From the Author
I wrote this book after my wife died. Her humor helped me get through the three difficult years of her terminal illness. Hundreds of people have told me how it helped them to not only deal with life-challenging issues but everyday trials and tribulations as well. It must have because the book is now in 24th printing and seventh language translation. (as of 02/01) For more, check out allenklein.com

Customer Reviews

An essential book for anyone going through difficult times
When a friend from college was diagnosed with a termanal brain tumor, I sent him and his family a copy of this book. Several times he and his wife told me how helpful this book was for all of them during these terrible times. It gives everyone permission to access appropriate humor to feed the spirit, and allow us to find joy in the midst of suffering and sorrow. Great and inspiring ideas and suggestions.

Helps us lighten the load of life on a daily basis.
Educational and entertaining, this book relays convincing evidence as to the psychological and physiological benefits of humor. The author gives concrete and helpgful techniques and suggestions as to how we can begin to bring more joy and laughter into our lives. Lots of humorous anecdotes and examples bring the points home. I found this book informative and motivational.

A real pick-me-up
Wonderful book, which truly elevated my spirits so much that people started complimenting me about my positive attitude. Good bedtime reading. Chapters are written so that you study one "lesson" per day.
