We now know that laughter is a major health asset. So if you're not naturally cheerful, we have good news for you, because laughter can be learned like everything else!
Know that any personal development approach allows you to develop more humor and also to better manage "unhappy" events. There are currently therapists who specialize in this field.
If you are looking for a more direct way, join a Laughter Club (see Laughter Academy). Laughter Clubs were started in India in 1995 by Dr Madan Kataria. There are now more than 6,000 of them in over 60 countries. Laughter is experienced in a group setting for the benefit of all. It offers all kinds of exercises to stimulate one's own ability to laugh, to relax and to free oneself from inhibitions. All of this helps to maintain health and cultivate a "postive-attitude" in order to have an increasingly joyful approach to life.
You should also know that there are instructors ready to pass on their techniques to people who want to start a club.
