A book on laughter and how it brings out our most authentic selves
In Animal Joy, poet and psychoanalyst Nuar Alsadir explores the nature of laughter and how it can tap into our unconscious.
When Nuar Alsadir went to clown school, she wasn't there for a career in clowning. The poet and psychoanalyst was researching laughter for a new book –- going out to comedy clubs and improv shows to really listen to the audience and hear when they laughed.
What she learned at clown school surprised her.
