The Science & Spirituality of Silliness With Tom Rosshirt
Can you giggle your way to inner peace? In this episode, host Paula Felps sits down with author Tom Rosshirt to explore the joyful — and surprisingly profound — power of silliness. Drawing from his book, Chasing Peace: A Story of Breakdowns, Breakthroughs, and the Spiritual Power of Neuroscience, Tom reveals how embracing our goofy side can be both spiritually liberating and scientifically beneficial. From dancing like no one’s watching to reciting nursery rhymes alone, silliness helps us sidestep rigid self-images, face embarrassing emotions, and retrain our brains for resilience.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
How silliness acts as a spiritual practice.
Why laughter and childlike play can retrain the brain and reduce stress.
Simple, everyday ways to embrace your silly side (even if it feels embarrassing at first).
