Description:
Today, nothing is certain except stress and taxes. But, believe it or not, stress can be a positive experience. In this special, humorist, and stress-management specialist Loretta LaRoche illustrates how to combat stressful situations with humor, wisdom, and patience.

Loretta shows you how to use humor to de-stress anywhere and anytime. With a little practice, you’ll soon be able to find joy in traffic jams, in the checkout line, at your office, and with your family—even your spouse! Break the negative and irrational thought patterns that cause stress, and turn them into positive, powerful, and productive experiences.

Armed with useful advice, calming exercises, and her trademark wit, Loretta explores how stress affects your body, mind, and spirit, and how laughter can help even 'serial sufferers' prevent 'hardening of the attitude.' Got stress? Get over it by discovering the joy of stress.

Loretta LaRoche is a nationally recognized speaker on stress management and founder of Humor Potential, Inc. She is also an adjunct faculty member for The Behavior Institute of Medicine, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School.

Special DVD features include: Loretta LaRoche’s top ten tips for reducing stress and living joyously; biography of Loretta LaRoche; access to the WGBH and Loretta LaRoche Web sites; chapter search; English audiotrack; and subtitles.

On one DVD5 disc. Region coding: All regions. Audio: Dolby stereo. Screen format: Full screen.

Are you aware that 75 percent of daily conversation is negative? While you may not have noticed that, you are no doubt aware of the stress and hassles of everyday life. Loretta LaRoche, an adjunct member on the faculty of the Behavior Institute of Medicine, which is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is determined to break you out of your cycle of negativity. Half comedian, half therapist, Loretta wants you to see the lighter side of situations. After all, optimists live longer. 'Pessimists are accurate,' she says, 'but they don't live as long.'

In this hour-long video, The Joy of Stress, Loretta humorously teaches you how to adopt a critical tenet of Alcoholics Anonymous: 'fake it till you make it'--how to act cheerful until it begins to come naturally. Life needs more belly laughs, she points out, and she teaches you exactly how to have them. You only thought you knew the proper way to laugh. Peppering her seminar with stories about her own Italian grandmother, her husband, and herself, Loretta's act surpasses that of many lesser comedians. Using different hats and different attitudes, Loretta will teach you how to loosen up and have you laughing (at her as well as at yourself) while you're doing it. This video works well by itself or in conjunction with her other two tapes, Humor Your Stress and How Serious Is This? --Jenny Brown
