| Description: | Select Guide Rating The poignant and hilarious memoir by the internationally bestselling author of Let's Pretend This Never Happened. <p><b>For fans of David Sedaris, Tina Fey and Caitlin Moran comes <i>Furiously Happy</i> from Jenny Lawson, author of the #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>Let's Pretend This Never Happened</i>.</b><br><br>In <i>Let's Pretend This Never Happened</i>, Jenny Lawson regaled readers with uproarious stories of her bizarre childhood. In <i>Furiously Happy </i>she 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.<br><br>As Jenny says: 'You can't experience pain without also experiencing the baffling and ridiculous moments of being fiercely, unapologetically, intensely and (above all) furiously happy.' It's a philosophy that has – quite literally – saved her life.<br><br>Jenny's first book, <i>Let's Pretend This Never Happened</i>, was ostensibly about family, but deep down it was about celebrating your own weirdness. <i>Furiously Happy</i> 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?</p> |
