Furiously happy : a funny book about horrible things
Lawson, Jenny, 1973-2016
Books
In this work, Jenny Lawson 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. This is a book about mental illness, but under the surface it's about embracing joy in fantastic and outrageous ways.
