About this listen

For fans of David Sedaris, Tina Fey and Caitlin Moran comes Furiously Happy from Jenny Lawson, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Let's Pretend This Never Happened.

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?

My therapist recommended this book to me because I reminded her of the author after 10 minutes of talking and she is spot on.

Hearing Jenny Lawson read her own story is brilliant. The book provides an amazing insight into mental health struggles. Fascinating and inspiring!

Unusual and fantastic

It’s a very funny book, which is unusual but also brilliant and Jenny Lawson is a great narrator. However it’s just not for me, I think it’s just not what I was looking for at this time. Maybe I’ll try again in a couple of months

Great .. but not for me

A fresh new angle to see life. I could never live with someone like Jenny Lawson, but from the longest stick distance possible I thought she was very funny.
