Love, Laughter and Longevity: The Art and Science of Wellbeing by Janni Goss is a well-written and uplifting guide to achieving healthy longevity through a holistic approach that blends scientific research, practical strategies, and heartfelt wisdom. Drawing from decades of personal experience as a physiotherapist and Laughter Yoga practitioner, the author explores how stress management, laughter therapy, physical movement, meaningful relationships, and mindfulness can significantly enhance our quality of life. The book melds insights from psychology, medicine, and spirituality in a roadmap to live longer and thrive emotionally, mentally, and physically. From the science of wellbeing to the healing power of humor, Goss provides actionable advice on cultivating joy, purpose, and strength in everyday life.
If I were to write a book, it would have been like Love, Laughter and Longevity, but Janni Goss has written it in a way I believe no one else could have. This book is a gift to humanity, capturing the essentials we often neglect. I loved how this author articulates self-care, connection, and balance. Goss emphasizes that well-being is not a destination but a lifelong practice, rooted in small daily choices—from nurturing body and mind to fostering loving relationships and engaging in simple pleasures. She advocates for Laughter Yoga, which she presents as a joyful and scientifically supported method for reducing stress and boosting immunity. The writing is warm, conversational, and intimate, enriched with anecdotes, quotes, and reflections that awaken the heart. Each chapter ends with reflective questions, encouraging readers to engage actively with the material. This is an inspiring work for anyone who takes their health seriously.
