Life is full of ups and downs. And while keeping your chin up may hide a double chin, it won’t improve your mood. Looking on the bright side will make you squint, which will lead to crow’s feet, and there is nothing cheerful about crow’s feet.

Listen, if you’re feeling down, it’s going to take a lot more to set things right than insipid platitudes about a cloud with a silver lining. (What is that anyway? Acid rain, or what?) In When You Need a Lift, comedienne Joy Behar and a host of her friends share the simple, silly, profound, and personal things they turn to for comfort when life gets hard.

For Joy, it’s her sense of humor and handbags. Not surprisingly, music legend Burt Bacharach turns to songwriting and performing. Kaye Ballard indulges with a big bowl of pasta. Beau Bridges counts his blessings. Former First Lady Barbara Bush finds solace in the work of Jane Austen. Tony Danza plays the ukulele. Larry King recommends laughter—tell a joke, read a funny book; every time you laugh, a little sadness slips away.

And that’s some advice you can actually use.

About the Author:
Joy Behar, currently a cohost of ABC's The View, is among today's leading comic talents.
From AudioFile:
Joy Behar and 101 of her friends, associates, and role models share what they do when they get the blues. Their thoughts and strategies range from merely funny to personal and profound, and serve as an uplifting reminder that almost anyone can climb out of a bad mood if they want to. Go shopping, laugh, cook something delicious, call a friend, connect with animals, listen to music, or get away from home are some of the more familiar ideas offered by a combination of well-known and not-so-well-known people. Both David Drummond and Renée Raudman offer enjoyable, perfectly laid-back performances. Both their voices have enough appeal and contrast to carry listeners through the occasional segment that is less than interesting or inspiring. T.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
