Movie Reviews of The Joy of Stress with Loretta LaRoche
Movie Review: The Joy of Loretta LaRoche
Summary: 5 Stars
I think EVERYONE would love this video. I purchased "The Joy of Stress" to inspire my fellow coworkers to relax a bit during an upsetting transition we were enduring. I scheduled a small meeting and it turned out to be a great team building experience that brought us closer together during such a difficult time. I was so impressed that I even purchased a second copy to share with my family as I feel laughter is the best medicine!
I also brought along some props for the meeting, a few pair of groucho glasses, one tiara, a viking hat, and a few stress relieving grippers and of course some snacks. This video was a hit and was so enjoyable to me and my coworkers that I highly recommend it to anyone!
(side note) It was also funny to see our personalities reaching for the props, it turned out that the personalities fit our chosen prop and made us laugh at ourselves.
Thank You Loretta!
Summary of The Joy of Stress with Loretta LaRoche
Today, nothing is certain except stress and taxes. But, believe it or not, stress can be a positive experience. In this special, humorist, and stress-management specialist Loretta LaRoche illustrates how to combat stressful situations with humor, wisdom, and patience.Loretta shows you how to use humor to de-stress anywhere and anytime. With a little practice, you'll soon be able to find joy in traffic jams, in the checkout line, at your office, and with your family-even your spouse! Break the negative and irrational thought patterns that cause stress, and turn them into positive, powerful, and productive experiences.
Armed with useful advice, calming exercises, and her trademark wit, Loretta explores how stress affects your body, mind, and spirit, and how laughter can help even "serial sufferers" prevent "hardening of the attitude." Got stress? Get over it by discovering the joy of stress.

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
