Program Description: It may be just a mood, but when it's bad, it's bad! You do, however, have the power to improve that mood, and humor is still the quickest and healthiest way to do it. "Humor is all around, and it will come out of any situation," says Allen Klein, who at one time worked with Captain Kangaroo and Jackie Gleason. After his wife's death, he discovered that humor can help heal loss and find new freshness in life. This program is a testimony to his success, as he not only describes the health benefits of smiles and laughter but shares a wealth of marvelous, playful techniques for bringing humor into any moment of your life. Includes some wonderful footage of Michael Toms laughing. 1 hour
