Our guest today on Moments of Clarity is Ros Ben-Moshe.
Ros is a Laughter, Wellbeing and Positivity author, academic and practitioner. She is Adjunct lecturer at the School of Public Health and Psychology at La Trobe University where she coordinates the Laughter, Resilience and Wellbeing online short course for professionals. Ros is author of The Laughter Effect – How to Build Joy, Resilience and Positivity in Your Life (2023) and “Laughing at cancer – How to Heal with Love, Laughter and Mindfulness”. Often called on for expert opinion in mainstream media, she has also written for publications including The Canberra Times, Huffington Post and Wellbeing magazine.
In today's conversation we discuss Ros's new book "The Laughter Effect" and many of the lessons Ros has learnt about laughter over the years. We hear about Ros' early life, career and the various pathways she took to get to the point she is at today. Ros talks about her cancer diagnosis and first hearing about Laughter Yoga, how we can work to reframe our situations, being grateful and how you do not have to be funny to laugh. It was a fantastic chat and we know you will learn a lot from it.
