This book focuses on nurses, but is a great read for anyone who works with people! Spread joy :)

"The language of laughter expresses our understanding, our compassion, and allows us to connect as equals, spirit to spirit, in an intimate way."

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked. And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain." -Kahlil Gilbran

"Laughter is a smile that engages the entire body."

"Happy in, happy out."
