Emotions Outside-In

"We normally think of the expressions on our face as the reflection of our inner state. But the opposite is also true. If I can make you smile, I can make you happy. Emotion, in this sense, goes outside-in." -- Malcom Gladwell

That's why I think humor is so useful, and comedy such a healthy profession. Laughter is a powerful medicine, and those who can inspire it in others are like saints.
