"Laughter is the Best Medicine" features David Granirer—counselor, stand–up comic and author of The Happy Neurotic: How Fear and Angst Can Lead To Happiness and Success. In his book, David challenges some very popular new–age thinking by proposing that negative, rather than positive thinking, is crucial for success. David is also the founder of Stand Up For Mental Health, a project teaching comedy to individuals living with mental illness as a way of building confidence and fighting public stigma. Learn how his students have found new passion and purpose on their road to recovery by learning stand–up comedy…who knows…perhaps maybe even you?!
