Mental Illness, a taboo subject for most, a silent killer plaguing young men and women around the world. We live in a world where nobody knows what to say or how to talk about these things. When somebody makes the decision to self-harm, to shut themselves away, to even take their own life, how can we as people begin to understand them?Hell if i know, but the least I can do is to try and simplify things for people who don't understand.My name is Danny, I'm a 25 year old Essex boy living in Sweden. I'm an aspiring preschool teacher, a gamer and a massive dork. I love to sing, to play music, and to try and bring the best out of people.I also suffer with depression and anxiety. I've struggled for so many years with people calling me overdramatic, soft or weak for events beyond my control. In the past twelve months I've gone through some of the most trialing things I've ever had to deal with. Losing my job, my family, my home, wandering through life not knowing who I really was or where I was really going.With the recent suicide of a man who I admired greatly, I made a decision to try understand these thoughts that rattle around my mind. Armed with nothing but a horrible quality laptop, some antidepressives and an arsenal of sarcasm, I've taken the time to look at my past, connect the dots with stories I've been told from other sufferers, and to try and create what I feel is a guidebook to the world of struggling to be happy, from the perspective of somebody who cried the day his mum told him they just got broadband internet. (I was about 12, i'm not exactly an ancient specimen sure, but you try living with dial-up for that long.)This book is my way of finding my way back to sanity. I can only hope that it can help others out there do the same. If you, or somebody else in your life suffers with depression, these notes are for you.You are not alone in the world, and if you give me a chance i'll prove it to you. If i made it through, battered and broken though I may be, then anybody has that potential. It's all a matter of perspective, so I hope you'll let me try and change your outlook to something more positive. That or if I can get a few cheap laughs in I'll count that as some sort of success.

The Positive Psychology of Laughter and Humour by Freda Gonot-Schoupinsky,Merv Neal,Jerome Carson Pdf
Drawing on the authors’ diverse backgrounds and expertise, this is the first academic volume dedicated to the rarely discussed topic of laughter and humour in positive psychology.
One of Today's Ten Best Inspirational Books, 2020 By the creator and host of the acclaimed mental health podcast Depresh Mode with John Moe "[A] path to deeper understanding and openness, by way of laughter in the dark" —The New York Times Book Review "Filled with heart, humor and hope." —People "A funny, honest book." —Neil Gaiman "Candid and funny and intimate." —Susan Orlean For years John Moe, critically-acclaimed public radio personality and host of The Hilarious World of Depression podcast, struggled with depression; it plagued his family and claimed the life of his brother in 2007. As Moe came to terms with his own illness, he began to see similar patterns of behavior and coping mechanisms surfacing in conversations with others, including high-profile comedians who’d struggled with the disease. Moe saw that there was tremendous comfort and community in open dialogue about these shared experiences and that humor had a unique power. Thus was born the podcast The Hilarious World of Depression. Inspired by the immediate success of the podcast, Moe has written a remarkable investigation of the disease, part memoir of his own journey, part treasure trove of laugh-out-loud stories and insights drawn from years of interviews with some of the most brilliant minds facing similar challenges. Throughout the course of this powerful narrative, depression’s universal themes come to light, among them, struggles with identity, lack of understanding of the symptoms, the challenges of work-life, self-medicating, the fallout of the disease in the lives of our loved ones, the tragedy of suicide, and the hereditary aspects of the disease. The Hilarious World of Depression illuminates depression in an entirely fresh and inspiring way.
It is a self-development book that is made up of two things: 'Words is a seed' and laughter is happiness. Because dreams are built up through words and happy energy is created through laughter, it is that if you do words and laughter every day, you can live a successful life and you can enjoy a happy life. A word has power, dreams, and life, so he must say good things and say something positive. It tells you that you can accomplish what you dream by adding your own feelings and wish adding "hahaha" laughter energy, and you can go toward your goal through laughter energy.
Humor at its best is a somewhat fluid and transitory element, but most books about it are illustrated with hardened old jokes from the comic papers, or classic witticisms jerked out of their context. Max Eastman, in this work, avoids this catastrophe by quoting mainly from contemporary American humor. This is not an anthology in that selections have been made with a view to making a point rather than covering the field. The purpose of Eastman's fabled work is to make the reader laugh. Since his early school days, it has seemed to him that textbooks are wrongly written in that they are conducted in a way which ignores the natural operation of the mind. As a result, the opinion is universal, and under the circumstances a fact, that in order to learn anything you have to study. Since this introduction to humor is itself near to writing a textbook, Eastman uses the very text he constructs to illustrate the manner in which textbooks should be written. Examination and classification of the kinds of humorous experience upon the basis of a theory is a science. As such, this work offers a fair chance to illustrate a method of instruction. However, the distinction between a good joke and a bad one will not prevent the reader from making bad jokes nor enable one to make good ones. There is an artistic and playful element that simply cannot be taught. Enjoyment of Laughter presents a total view of the science of laughter and draws upon some of the great American humorists to do so.
