Book excerpt: Living a healthy life with serious stress can be tough. We all need a full toolbox of resources to help you navigate the many challenges and changes that come with this crazy thing called life. Humor is a powerful tool in that toolbox, but it's not the only tool. Although we believe laughter is often the best medicine, humor isn't the end-all-be-all of treatments. No responsible healthcare professional would try to convince you otherwise. What the pros will tell you is that humor has a powerful role to play in your self-care routine. It is a great tool to complement and enhance all of the other efforts you're already making. All of those positive investments you make around how you eat, how you move and how you sleep actually work better and are easier to stick to when you use a solid dose of healthy humor. When you start using humor proactively as part of your self-care, stress-mastery routine, you're going to find that humor helps you in a lot of other areas of your life. That's because humor has far-reaching physiological, psychological and social benefits. Humor makes getting along with other people much easier. It's also a social lubricant--it helps strengthen relationships and build rapport; and the more you use humor, the easier it becomes!
