Description: Furiously Happy by Jenny Lawson The humorist and journalist explores her lifelong battle with crippling depression and anxiety. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description #1 New York Times Bestseller 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: "Ive 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 thats what Furiously Happy is all about." Jennys readings are standing room only, with fans lining up to have Jenny sign their bottles of Xanax or Prozac as often as they are to have her sign their books. Furiously Happy appeals to Jennys core fan base but also transcends it. There are so many people out there struggling with depression and mental illness, either themselves or someone in their family--and in Furiously Happy they will find a member of their tribe offering up an uplifting message (via a taxidermied roadkill raccoon). Lets Pretend This Never Happened ostensibly was about embracing your own weirdness, but deep down it was about family. Furiously Happy is about depression and mental illness, but deep down its about joy--and who doesnt want a bit more of that? Author Biography JENNY LAWSON, The Bloggess, is an award-winning humor writer known for her great candor in sharing her struggle with depression and mental illness. Her memoirs, Lets Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy, were #1 New York Times bestsellers Review Praise for Jenny Lawson: "Were living in an era of bestselling books by female comedians... But Lawsons book needs no lovable, familiar face on the front cover...Shes unapologetic, candid, outrageous, and the book reaches new levels of hilarity because of it." --Entertainment Weekly (A) "Jenny made me laugh so hard I feared for my safety! I think thats how she was able to get past my defenses and make me feel more okay about myself." --Allie Brosh "Youll laugh, wince, writhe in discomfort, cry, then laugh again...But the two things youll never do is doubt Jennys brilliance or her fearlessness...Shes changing the conversation one rented sloth at a time." --Brené Brown "Lawsons self-deprecating humor is not only gaspingly funny and wonderfully inappropriate; it allows her to speak...in a real and raw way." --O, The Oprah Magazine "Take one part David Sedaris and two parts Chelsea Handler and youll have some inkling of the cockeyed humor of Jenny Lawson...[She] flaunts the sort of fearless comedic chops that will make you spurt Diet Coke through your nose." --Parade Review Quote Were living in an era of bestselling books by female comedians. Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling, and Amy Poehler dominated with their memoirs-and rightfully so. But Lawsons book needs no lovable, familiar face on the front cover. While she doesnt have the advantage of fame backing her book, this comes with a major perk-she has no boundaries. Where Fey, Kaling, and Poehler have acting careers to think about, Lawson can only benefit from taking it a step further. Shes unapologetic, candid, outrageous, and the book reaches new levels of hilarity because of it. - Entertainment Weekly, "A" review Details ISBN1250077028 Author Jenny Lawson Short Title FURIOUSLY HAPPY Language English ISBN-10 1250077028 ISBN-13 9781250077028 Media Book Format Paperback Year 2017 Publication Date 2017-02-07 Subtitle A Funny Book about Horrible Things UK Release Date 2017-02-07 Imprint St Martins Press Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States Illustrations Illustrations, unspecified AU Release Date 2017-02-07 NZ Release Date 2017-02-07 US Release Date 2017-02-07 Pages 368 Publisher St Martins Press DEWEY B Audience General We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
