Description:
Loretta LaRoche shows you how to prevent "hardening of the attitude" and use humor to break the negative and irrational thought patterns that cause stress, and reframe them into powerful, positive tools for change.
Amazon.com:
Are you aware that 75 percent of daily conversation is negative? While you may not have noticed that, you are no doubt aware of the stress and hassles of everyday life. Loretta LaRoche, an adjunct member on the faculty of the Behavior Institute of Medicine, which is an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, is determined to break you out of your cycle of negativity. Half comedian, half therapist, Loretta wants you to see the lighter side of situations. After all, optimists live longer. "Pessimists are accurate," she says, "but they don't live as long."
In this hour-long video, The Joy of Stress, Loretta humorously teaches you how to adopt a critical tenet of Alcoholics Anonymous: "fake it till you make it"--how to act cheerful until it begins to come naturally. Life needs more belly laughs, she points out, and she teaches you exactly how to have them. You only thought you knew the proper way to laugh. Peppering her seminar with stories about her own Italian grandmother, her husband, and herself, Loretta's act surpasses that of many lesser comedians. Using different hats and different attitudes, Loretta will teach you how to loosen up and have you laughing (at her as well as at yourself) while you're doing it. This video works well by itself or in conjunction with her other two tapes, Humor Your Stress and How Serious Is This? --Jenny Brown

I would recommend this to anyone--man or woman--who has not laughed in a day or so. I am 60 and enjoyed her work and played it for adult women in their 20's and they appreciated it as well.

Loretta LaRoche is a wonderful speaker and helps us to see what is important in our daily lives and what things give us unnecessary stress. She clowns around helping us to laugh off many things that aggravate us, like crazy drivers. Life is a gift and make that gift happen every day! I think this program would be useful for everyone, but it is so important to those who are suffering from diseases/illness and need to make each day count.

I watched this comic routine in a college psychology class. It is both entertaining and thought-provoking...leading the viewer to reflect on their own day-to-day attitudes. During her routine, she points out ways our thinking can be overly-negative and engrossed in catastrophe. She has the ability to make you laugh at yourself.
This would make a good Christmas gift for a relative who likes to laugh.

You'll LOVE "The Joy of Stress" DVD by Loretta LaRoche! She is a very dynamic speaker and draws one in from the moment she starts speaking until the minute she stops. Her sense of humor keeps you laughing and teaches one that life is to be lived -- not to be spent in pessimism. Look at the positive side of life! Laugh -- and see how much better you feel. If you can possibly watch this DVD and not laugh, then I recommend seeing a doctor because your funny bone is broken! She's awesome. You ... Read More

This was hilarious and really does point out what stress can do to you and how to overcome it! I used the video in my staff meeting and it was a huge success. I think we'll watch it yearly just to keep it fresh in our memories! I'd highly recommend this video.

named Queen Victoria. Based in Southampton, England, the Cunard Queen Victoria will be
the second largest Cunard Queen ever built. Together with the current flagship,
Queen Elizabeth 2, and Queen Mary 2, the biggest passenger liner ever, the
Cunard fleet will include three Queens for the first time – truly the most
famous ocean liners in the world.

lounge, a large Lido pool with a retractable magrodome, and 10 of the12

tastes and the currency will be sterling. Queen Victoria will fly the red
ensign; she will have the name of her home port, Southampton, on her stern, and
she will have a British Captain and Officers.
In design terms the cruise Cunard Queen Victoria will have an undeniably British feel with two British design
teams being responsible for the interior of the Cunard Queen Victoria.
Queen Victoria is being built at Italy’s Fincantieri shipyard in Marghera, near
Venice, with her keel laid on July 12, 2003. One of the most technically
advanced shipbuilders in the world, Fincantieri has built more than 7,000
vessels, including many for Cunard’s parent Carnival Corporation. Originally
ordered as the fifth in a series of five 'Vista' class ships for sister company
Holland America, the contact was signed over to Cunard before the keel was laid
and Holland America then ordered a further ship for delivery in 2006.

lead ship in the series, Zuiderdam, entered service in December 2002.
No cruise schedules have yet been
announced. Her float out is scheduled for May 2007, prior to
her delivery in March 2008.She is scheduled to enter service in April 2008. |
