Summary

Laughter and Health explores the profound impact of laughter on physiological well-being. It delves into how this simple act can reduce stress, boost the immune system, and improve cardiovascular health. For example, laughter reduces cortisol levels, effectively mitigating the harmful effects of stress. Moreover, it increases immune cells and antibodies, strengthening the body's defense mechanisms. The book uniquely bridges health fitness, psychology, and general health, emphasizing the mind-body connection.

 
The book progresses systematically, beginning with an introduction to the basic physiological mechanisms involved in laughter. It then develops core themes such as stress reduction, immune support, and cardiovascular health, supported by research findings and case studies. The approach is evidence-based, providing a balanced view of laughter's potential without overblown claims. It culminates in practical strategies for incorporating laughter into daily life, demonstrating its value as a tool for holistic health and well-being.

    Zen as the ideal path for those who have left institutional religion behind 
 
Do you feel there is something more to be found in life? Is there something more for your life? Traditionally people turn to religions to find that "more." 
 
Today, when cultures are in upheaval and traditional religions are collapsing, a prominent Zen teacher explores the possibility of a spirituality at the heart of all religions. 
 
Zen at the End of Religion is a brief introduction to Zen as a practical expression of perennial wisdom, a "naturalistic perennialism." 
 
The book offers a simple introduction to the core of Zen's why and how. While Zen is a rich and varied tradition, this introduction focuses on the essentials, the foundations of the Zen way. This book explores the Four Noble Truths, the Two Truths, the Ten Ox Herding Pictures, Zen meditation, samadhi, koans, enlightenment, and more.
