Synopsis

Have you ever laughed at something that wasn't funny? Maybe you've laughed at a really serious moment during a film. Did you wonder why? The answer is in the science of laughter! From laughing uncontrollably in happiness to chuckling inappropriately, emotions can sometimes get the better of you. But next time you or your friends giggle at the wrong moment or simply can't stop, you'll understand what's really going on in your brains. Plus, you'll learn tips for decoding body language and find out about the benefits that come with laughter. All joking aside, mental health is no joke, so when behaviours and feelings have crossed the line, you'll also learn when it's time to reach out for help.
