On Saturday, I went to the Comedy Cellar in New York city, anyway, I was thinking about how laughing is a drug of sorts. Laughter releases endorphins, neurotransmitters that have pain-relieving properties similar to morphine and are probably connected to euphoric feelings, appetite modulation, and the release of sex hormones (7).

Laughing feels good. Good old fashioned belly laughing. If you’re not having fun, find funnier friends.
