In his classic work, Laughter and the Twenty Million, Mark Twain explores the different ways that people find laughter. He argues that laughter is a powerful force for good, and that it can be used to heal wounds, build bridges, and make the world a better place.

Twain begins the book by discussing the different types of laughter. He argues that there are two main types of laughter: the "belly laugh" and the "head laugh." The belly laugh is a spontaneous and uncontrollable response to something funny. The head laugh, on the other hand, is a more thoughtful and deliberate response to something witty or clever.

Twain goes on to discuss the different benefits of laughter. He argues that laughter can help to reduce stress, improve mood, and boost the immune system. He also argues that laughter can help to build relationships and create a sense of community.
