Studies like Fritz Strack's in 1988 and Robert Soussignan in 2002 conclude that the bigger the smile, the happier one gets, even if the person is just "faking it". It showed that soon enough, respondents that kept on smiling, became genuinely happier. If you can become happier just by smiling, how much more if you're laughing out loud.
Various researchers like Sondra Kornblatt's and Johns Hopkins University Medical School prove that if you laugh more often you'll have:
- Higher level of happiness
- Lower blood pressure
- Better circulation and oxygenation
