Transcript

When we laugh, our brains release a cocktail of hormones.

So we release endorphins,

giving us a similar feeling to a runner’s high;

we lower our cortisol,

making us feel calmer;

and we release dopamine, the same hormone released during sex,

making us feel more bonded.

So in essence, as far as our brains are concerned,

laughing is like exercising,

meditating

and having sex

at the same time.

Laughing together makes us feel more connected.

It floods our brains with the same hormones associated with love.

And who doesn't want to feel more joy

and love in our lives?

Where humor exists,

love is not far behind.
