Sobre IBD

Laughter isn’t just a reaction-it’s a language, a medicine, a survival tool, and a window into what it means to be human.This thought-provoking exploration uncovers the fascinating science behind why we laugh, what it reveals about us, and how it shapes our relationships, biology, and society. From the neural sparks in your brain to the cultural scripts we follow in conversation, humour holds surprising power in shaping mental health, resolving conflict, and even building communities.Inside, you’ll discover:- The neuroscience of laughter and how it rewires your brain- Why humour is a hidden pillar of emotional resilience- How different cultures laugh-and what that says about them- The healing potential of laughter in trauma and therapy- The evolutionary roots and psychological mechanics of jokes, play, and parodySmart, accessible, and deeply engaging, this book reveals that laughter is more than a punchline-it’s a profoundly human superpower waiting to be understood.
