Description
In Let's Pretend This Never Happened, Jenny Lawson regaled readers with uproarious stories of her bizarre childhood. In Furiously Happy 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.
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.
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?

"this has got to be the funniest book ever, depending on how often you chuckle and laugh out loud everytime I see you reading this." -my wife And it is definetly one of the most funniest books I've ever read. Jenny Lawson writes in a standup Comedian way, in which she nails every Punchline. She comes up with things of her everyday life leaving you with "nah I don't believe this" but then you turn the page and see a photo of the whole Situation. The racoon on the cover? That's a bad taxidermy she owns. She even has two of them! And That's all you need to know about Jenny Lawson and her Humor. It took me a year to read this book, not because it's bad written or boring or hard to read. No, it's because I never wanted it to end and just snacked some chapters here and there of it to brighten my days.
I laughed, I cried, I laughed again. Stayed up one night because that the chapter I read was a terrible trigger and brought up so many emotions reminding me that there are lots of people who are just as broken as me, so I just have to remember that I am enough. I randomly giggled at some of the ridiculousness of what I just read. Woke my husband up to read the same thing knowing if I explained it he wouldn’t believe me. Most of all I just loved the book. Thank you Jenny Lawson 😘
