Humour | South Australian Authors

What began as a series of humorous anecdotes shared with friends around dinner tables, has resulted in this book of true, short stories about things that have happened to Duncan Russell; incidents that stem from a lifetime of travel, of changes and of differing work experiences, things that, sometimes only upon reflection, make us laugh. Laugh Out Loud reminds us that funny things do happen, on a regular basis, to all of us. We should embrace the silliness and simplicity of these moments. Let the grin become a laugh, then let it grow to a real belly-laugh, because it doesn't only feel good - it's good for you! Duncan wants us to embrace and share our stories as he has done here.

Laugh Out Loud is a collection of amusing, short stories depicting situations that can (and do) happen to any of us, every day and bring a smile to our faces or make us laugh. However, it’s as if we have been conditioned to skim over the positive or funny things in life, instead choosing to focus on the negative and the stressful.

The importance of laughter is now - finally - being acknowledged by science as having genuine therapeutic benefits. There are even classes you can attend that teach you to laugh!

Why focus on the small but negative occurrences that intrude on our days when we should embrace the silliness and simplicity of these light-hearted moments.

Let the grin become a laugh, then let it become a real belly-laugh, because it doesn’t only feel good - it’s good for you!

Laugh Out Loud invites, and encourages, readers to do this.
