Did I just spend an hour looking for a taxidermied raccoon to buy?
Yes, yes I did. My wife is gonna love him.
This book made me laugh and appreciate some of the absurdities in my own life. We could all stand to be a little more furiously happy.

This style of book was a bit of a departure for me. I don't frequently read nonfiction or comedy and this was a bit of both. I thought Lawson did a great job of balancing being raw and honest with funny and clever. It was a very unique book that did make me laugh out loud a few times. I haven't strongly struggled with mental illness but appreciated the perspective that I was able to gain from Lawson's insights on some of the ways that people can be affected by this. I think this book is useful to both those who do struggle and those who are looking to understand those struggles.
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.

Jenny Lawson is me except way funnier. The last two chapters made me cry but I needed to read them.

Furiously Happy aims to raise awareness about mental illness, but I can’t say I know much more about the topic now than before reading it. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed it and did take away some valuable lessons—especially the reminder that life is better with humor. It’s something I had forgotten along the way, and I’m grateful for the reminder.
This book is best read when you’re in a relaxed mood—perhaps in the morning with a cup of coffee or on a slow weekend afternoon. I didn’t enjoy it as much when reading before bed, as I was too tired to fully appreciate its energy and humor.
Before I was even done I told my sister that she had to start reading this and just to give advance apologies to anyone she happened to be sitting next to for laughing out loud - and not just little ha!'s but full on guffaws. This was hilarious. While also dealing with big, deep issues like depression. I really enjoyed it and am going to go find her first book now!
This book is fabulous. For a book that involves her talking with her mental illness and anxiety disorder, it's funny as hell. I was sick while reading, so every time I laughed (which was a lot), I'd end up coughing. At least I hacked up a lot of phlegm when reading this book. Anyway, this was excellent. I had a very bad day, had a good cry, and then sat down to read this book before bed. When I read the "Pretend you're good at it" line, it was like a lightbulb went on in my head. It made the following day SO much better, and I have a feeling it will continue to do so. The reason why I gave it 4 stars was there were some stories I thought were a bit rambly and detracted from the rest of the book, but other than that, it's excellent. Thank you, Jenny Lawson, for sharing your story with us. We aren't alone. We need to be open. We need to know there are others out there who suffer from this stupid depression and mental crap. Here's to being furiously happy in spite of the shitstorm we may be in!!!
