Norman Cousins was in pain 24 hours per day and doctors predicted that he would die soon. Cousins self-prescribed comedy tapes as his medicine. He discovered that for every 10 minutes he laughed, he had two hours of pain free sleep. He lived 16 years longer than his doctored predicted. This presentation focuses on the therapeutic benefits of humor for mental health and medical professionals and promises to be a fun learning experience.
