Here’s what various reviewers have said about Breakaway Laughter:
Breakaway Laughter: How to Lighten Up—Despite It All by Nan L. Crockett
“[Crockett] illustrates the silver-lining principles that guide her and her clients through
life’s dark clouds . . . [Whether] it’s mental illness or a visiting kid who sits on a wad
of gum and happens to have no pants on, she finds a reason to laugh and inspires us to
do the same.”—Nancy Watkins, The Chicago Tribune
“[Crockett] deftly explains just how to counter stress by analyzing its causes with an element of humor, allowing us to ‘break away’ from the causes of that stress and its effects upon our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. A series of specific stress management areas are addressed including boundary setting, depersonalizing, diet, expectations, fear, grieving, rules, socializing, ‘playing the victim,’ and more. Also discussed is the role of forgiveness, medication, perspective shifting, problem assessment, surrender to a higher power, transcendental meditation, twelve-step programs, and visualizing better ways. Breakaway Laughter is thoroughly ‘reader friendly,’ insightful, practical, and especially recommended reading for anyone at any age trying to cope with the impact of stress upon their lives and families.”—Self-Help Shelf, Midwest Book Review
“In her new book [Crockett] makes light of life situations most parents can relate to. . . but she uses her training as a stress management expert to subtly coach others—making clear the importance of setting boundaries, recognizing faulty reasoning and realizing what is important in the scheme of things.”—Family Living
“This book delivers on its promise.”—Christiane Northrup, M.D., bestselling author of Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom; Mother-Daughter Wisdom and more
