Description

Our Bookseller says:

“I love this book. It’s funny and dark and just absolutely, unapologetically great. Jenny is open and honest about her life with mental illness and her decision to be “Furiously Happy.” She’ll make you laugh and cry and wonder “whose life is really like this?!?!” (Answer: Jenny’s life.) I don’t normally read memoirs, but I *love* hers (I own all three of the books she’s published so far) and I’ve reread them again and again. Even if I’m just looking for a quick giggle, I know I can count on the “Advance Praise” and “A Series of Unfortunate Disclaimers” to see me through. Check it out — you won’t regret it!” – Christine

In Furiously Happy, a humor memoir tinged with just enough tragedy and pathos to make it worthwhile, Jenny Lawson examines her own experience with severe depression and a host of other conditions, and explains how it has led her to live life to the fullest:

“I’ve often thought that people with severe depression have developed such a well for experiencing extreme emotion that they might be able to experience extreme joy in a way that ‘normal people’ also might never understand. And that’s what Furiously Happy is all about.”
