More awareness about laughter therapy


Who would have thought that laughter can be good for our health and wellbeing? In a recent talk at our university on this very topic, Dr Sunthar, a Malaysian living in Chicago, the United States, shared with us interesting anecdotes about laughter. It was news to me that one could do a PhD on laughter. Dr Sunthar is living proof of that. He did his research on laughter and humour in India. He is not alone.

There are many PhD holders around the world who studied laughter for their doctorate. Now he is a sought-after speaker in many countries. He has been booked for a function in Japan next month. He has been invited for a talk on laughter later in the year in one South American country. This former student of Victoria Institution now travels the world to share his knowledge on laughter.
