Book Reviews of The Healing Power of Humor
Book Review: Essential reading
Summary: 5 Stars
I do like this book very much and Allen Klein's outlook on life. I lost my wife just over a year ago and humor and positive thinking have helped me through the ordeal. During my wife's last days, her wish was to come home, unfortunately she never made it. However I did fulfill her last wish in part. After her cremation I bought her ashes home and she stands proudly on top of a chest of drawers. She is in a beautiful green and gold urn, which stands inside a pair of black French knickers. So she stands there majestically, looking as though she is standing naked with her knickers around her ankles. Which is how I like to remember her. Not disrepectful, but very reverant. So yes, I can see the authors point of view, humor is a great tonic in the face of adversity.
I loved it and in a similar vien and for another persons viewpoint on the adversity of life, have a look at Simon Ashley Richmonds WRITE AGAIN VOL 1 another great tonic.
Book Review: A staple item for the humor lover's bookshelf
Summary: 5 Stars
Since reading this book in 1994, I have used it as a reference for my life AND work. Using a warm and witty style of writing, Allen teaches us the physiological and emotional benefits of mirth. My favorite chapter title is "Strike While the Irony is Hot!" So clever!! I recommend this book to friends who are facing life challenges and to everyone who attends my workshops. On a more personal note, since embracing The Healing Power of Humor, I felt freer to add a little levity to my Aunt Alice's funeral. My family was amazingly grateful. Me too!Book Review: An essential book for anyone going through difficult times

When a friend from college was diagnosed with a termanal brain tumor, I sent him and his family a copy of this book. Several times he and his wife told me how helpful this book was for all of them during these terrible times. It gives everyone permission to access appropriate humor to feed the spirit, and allow us to find joy in the midst of suffering and sorrow. Great and inspiring ideas and suggestions.Book Review: Helps us lighten the load of life on a daily basis.

Summary: 5 Stars
This book showed me the evidence that I need to have humor in my life on a daily basis. I have always loved humor, but until I read this book I didn't really realize the powerful effect it has on me and my family. This book will help anyone learn how to have a more healthy, mind, body and spirit. --Tom Antion
