Review: "Laughter and humor are phenomena which, in order to be understood, must be looked at and evaluated from numerous, interrelated perspectives."Dr. Raymond A. Moody, Jr. was born on June 30, 1944. he taught philosophy at East Carolina University and conducted humor workshops throughout the country. In this book, the author traces the history of humor from the Biblical advice of "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine," to modern examples of how laughter and humor have been shown to heal the body. Moody also shows how medicine relies too heavily on the technical science of medicine and overlooks our God-given ability to aid the healing process through the use of a good sense of humor.
