“Since April is often bleak and grim and taxes are due on the 15th, it can be one of the most stressful times of the year,” says Wilde, author of 53 books on the subject of humor. “Besides,” adds Wilde, “it’s the only month that begins with All Fool’s Day — a day which has sanctioned frivolity and pranks ever since the 1500’s.”

In his book Anatomy of An Illness, author Norman Cousins cited laughter as an effective tool for promoting the healing process. In Cousins’ words, “Laughter is internal jogging.”
Internationally known as a premiere platform humorist, Wilde offers a five-point program to manage stress, overcome personal turmoil and postpone our insanity. “Humor is very personal. What you think is funny, someone else may not. But it’s important to laugh and to get all the big laughs you can.”
