Listen "Why do we laugh?"
Episode Synopsis
Laughter is ancient — even rats and chimps do it. It began as a survival signal: “We’re safe now.” Most laughter isn’t from jokes, but from social bonding. Real laughter releases endorphins, boosts immunity, and eases stress. Humor = surprise + safety (the “benign violation” sweet spot). Fake or real, laughter still helps your brain relax and reset. It connects people — syncing heartbeats, breath, and emotion. Sometimes laughter finds us in the hardest moments — and that’s its magic.
