Product Description
From Library Journal
LaRoche is Erma Bombeck with a wellness agenda. A motivational speaker with her own company, The Humor Potential, LaRoche has been featured on PBS and serves on the faculty of Boston's Mind-Body Institute. Her theme: laughter is important for reducing stress and maintaining a healthy life. In chapters with headings such as "If you don't have to suffer, don't practice" and "How to prevent hardening of the attitudes," LaRoche dispenses practical wisdom laced with laughter and lampoons the human potential movement while subtly delivering its most important messages. Using illustrations from "the committee," her Italian American extended family, she encourages women to look for the humor in every situation ("look at parts of your life as a sitcom, with you as the star") and use it to defuse stress. Included are addresses of organizations and a list of resources for "health, healing and humor." Recommended for popular psychology collections.ALucille M. Boone, San Jose P.L., CA

From AudioFile
LaRoche, a longtime speaker and writer on stress management, suggests using the power of humor to overcome the stress that is in all of our lives. Personal stories, told with heavy New York/Italian sarcasm, show that life is too short to sweat the small stuff. She believes in food and fun to smooth the bumps on the road of life. A recipe for her grandmother's spaghetti sauce is a riotous inclusion. The script is read at a steady, fast rate that makes it sound spontaneous. Her voice has natural ups and downs that create funny expressions and a believable conversational style. A.G.H. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
