Why Would You Laugh?

By: Gerri Bohanan

Gerri Bohanan has written a gem of a book that will resonate with anyone who is facing serious difficulties in life. It would be perfectly understandable if Gerri, after receiving a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia, had decided to just relax and enjoy life, but she has a message to share and she states it clearly in this book. Laughter is both inspirational and educational.

For over a year, I called and begged and patiently waited for Ms. Bohanan to offer her course. The world was in despite need of Mrs. Bohanan and Laughter Yoga more than ever. We were thrusted into a Global Pandemic and Covid had shaken our world as we knew it. I love Ms. Gerri's candor and light heartedness. But most importantly Ms. Bohanan taught me about the power of embracing my inner child and letting her be free and unapologetic. Ms. Bohanan' s laughter is a gift to the world and I am grateful for her teachings and this amazing book. Read this book and laugh everyone, laugh with Ms. Bohanan as if your life depends on it.

A very informative book! Excellent for use with a traditional yoga class, sparking creativity, improving self-esteem and so much more! I highly recommended it.

You received phrases for your Laughter Yoga classes which is great. But your humility in sharing your personal problems, your PPA and depression is mind blowing.

-Ron Azualar, N Y

This book is an adventure in life's most joyous expression- laughter. It should be on everyone's coffee table and in everyone's heart.

-Dr. Wali Gill, The Urban Professor

Gerri shares the wisdom of laughter yoga in a light-hearted way that makes it easy for everyone to adopt this joyful healing practice.
