Book Giveaway: How Can You NOT Laugh At A Time Like This?

Announcing the first ever HealingWell Blog book giveaway! I'm very happy to give away Carla Ulbrich's new book How Can You NOT Laugh at a Time Like This? Reclaim Your Health with Humor, Creativity, and Grit. Carla writes from the heart with refreshing wit and sometimes brutal honesty about her own struggles and challenges with chronic illness. Some my favorite essays include "How Not to Be Completely Exhausted", "Disease Envy", and "Top Ten Annoying Things to Say to Someone Who's Just Been Diagnosed".

Summary: How Can You NOT Laugh at a Time Like This? is a collection of short, inspiring, funny essays that help people thrive, celebrate life, and work through illness. Carla Ulbrich - the Singing Patient - reveals how laughter has been pivotal to reclaiming her health after serious crises. She offers heartfelt and humorous advice for navigating the medical system and explains how she benefited from exploring better nutrition, exercise, and alternative therapies such as acupuncture. This singer-songwriter's candid insights, wisecracking commentary, handy lists, and hilarious song lyrics provide smiles and gentle camaraderie to those who want to tackle health problems with courage, zest and humor.
