In this brief YouTube monologue, Tom Krieglstein highlights a striking contrast between how often babies (about 400 times per day) and U.S. adults (about 17 times per day) laugh. He explains that laughter triggers the release of positive endorphins, which support mental health. Krieglstein urges viewers to incorporate more laughter into their daily routine by taking a "laughter challenge"—suggesting activities such as watching a funny movie, enjoying a comedy sketch, or scrolling social media for memes—to boost wellbeing.
