Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things
by Jenny Lawson
I enjoyed Furiously Happy even more than Let's Pretend This Never Happened. I didn't think that was possible, but apparently it is.
For the first time, I've read of someone else who got so angry about her brain chemistry messing up or getting in the way of her living her life the way she wants to that she decided to give it the finger. As she says in the first chapter, being "furiously happy" isn't a cure, it's a weapon. It's also the realization that being "crazy" is ok. If there is such a thing as the perfect book for just about anyone suffering from Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, chronic medical conditions, phobias, etc., this is the book. It's an amazing and wonderful reminder that humor and accepting yourself as you are is the best way to get through the craziness of life.
