Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things by Jenny Lawson

4.0

A collection of essays with some funny moments and a few bits of wisdom is my rather uninspired description of this book. I admire and respect Ms. Lawson’s candidness to share some of the inner battles she struggles to overcome. Mixed in with my admiration is the thought that it must be exhausting to be her and to live with her! Not because she has pain and is depressed but when she tackles life with her bizarre and fantastical sense of humor. I just can’t even imagine that on a daily basis.

I think that must be my anxiety speaking. I love to laugh and love spontaneous actions but to aspire to chaos? Ugh, I shudder to think! But maybe she doesn’t aspire to create chaos, maybe she is chaos incarnate? I think she would find coolness in that.
