Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things Hardcover - 2015
by Jenny Lawson
Summary
"Jenny made me laugh so hard I feared for my safety! I think that's how she
was able to get past my defenses and make me feel more okay about myself."
-Allie Brosh, author ofHyperbole and a Half For fans of David Sedaris, Tina
Fey, and Mindy Kaling-the new book from Jenny Lawson, author of the #1New
York Times bestseller LET'S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED... In LET'S PRETEND
THIS NEVER HAPPENED, Jenny Lawson baffled readers with stories about
growing up the daughter of a taxidermist. In her new book,FURIOUSLY HAPPY,
Jenny explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical,
ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a
terrible idea. And terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. According to
Jenny: "Some people might think that being 'furiously happy' is just an
excuse to be stupid and irresponsible and invite a herd of kangaroos over
to your house without telling your husband first because you suspect he
would say no since he's never particularly liked kangaroos. And that would
be ridiculous because no one would invitea herd of kangaroos into their
house. Two is the limit. I speak from personal experience. My husband says
thatnone is the new limit. I say he should have been clearer about that
before I rented all those kangaroos." "Most of my favorite people are
dangerously fucked-up but you'd never guess because we've learned to bare
it so honestly that it becomes the new normal. Like John Hughes wrote inThe
Breakfast Club, 'We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at
hiding it.' Except go back and cross out the word 'hiding.'" Jenny's first
book, LET'S PRETEND THIS NEVER HAPPENED, was ostensibly about family, but
deep down it was about celebrating your own weirdness.FURIOUSLY HAPPY is a
book about mental illness, but under the surface it's about embracing joy
in fantastic and outrageous ways-and who doesn't need a bit more of that?
