Relax – You May Only Have A Few Minutes Left – Loretta Laroche|”I’m always reminding people that the one constant you can count on is that things happen–and usually when you’re not in the mood for them.”

It’s now a proven medical fact that good humor reduces the negative effects of stress. Over the course of twenty years, millions of people have learned this lesson while being entertained and enlightened by Loretta LaRoche in one of her enormously popular series of lectures given in public seminars; in corporate environments for clients like IBM, Reebok, Fidel-ity Investments, and Blue Cross, Blue Shield; and most recently in nationwide broadcasts on public television. Now she puts her sensible, sensational philosophy on paper–and gives readers the tools they need to laugh themselves to less stress and better health.

“One night I greeted Bob at the door wearing nothing but his wing-tipped shoes. I was laughing hysterically about how I looked. Bob didn’t crack a smile. Instead, he bellowed, ‘What are the neighbors going to think?’
” ‘I don’t know,’ I replied, ‘I haven’t shown them yet.’ ”

Loretta LaRoche has been called “the Erma Bombeck of stress reduction”–and in the helpful and hilarious pages of this book, her enormous talent for finding the funny detail to defuse even the most difficult situation has never been sharper.

“Buy something silly and wear it. A Groucho Marx nose, mustache, and glasses are my favorite. When the stress seems unbearable, when you’ve really reached the limits of your endurance, go into a bathroom, look into the mirror, put on your glasses, and ask yourself, ‘How serious is this?’ ”

Relax–You May Only Have a Few Minutes Left is filled with practical exercises, hilarious anecdotes, and specific advice for coming to terms with today’s ever-increasing stress levels–it is a remedy for anxiety and a prescription for laughter.

“Most of us don’t realize what an impact we have on the world around us. A positive energy field is going to affect others in a beneficial way, even if you don’t notice it at first. Why not ask for a standing ovation once in a while? When you go in to work, say, ‘I came in–it wasn’t easy. I could have gone somewhere else. I’d like a standing ovation.’ ”

In sections like “If You Don’t Have to Suffer–Don’t Practice,” “My Mother the CEO,” and “I’m Not Afraid of Heights, Just Widths,” LaRoche dismantles our American predilection for taking ourselves too seriously and shows us how to live longer, happier lives using the healing power of the absurd.
