Furiously Happy: A Funny Book about Horrible Things Audio Book Summary:
This is the audiobook edition of Furiously Happy which was a personal memoir written by New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson and details her life and her battle with mental illness, specifically depression and anxiety. So, simply put, this is a hilarious audiobook that tackles the issue of depression and anxiety by the author herself. In a sane world this would have been a terrible idea and actually, it is! But that is where Jenny Lawson takes her strength from, for being a near insane, irresponsible and impulsive woman she is actually able to cope with her emotional disorder. Trade in one monster for another monster, it seems. But hey, it worked. Right?
We are all weird in our own way, some people are just better at hiding their weirdness than others. Jenny Lawson is the exact opposite of that and thrives on being weird and ridiculous. Her honest wit and her ability to turn something mundane into a crazy experience is her gift to the world. Life is about doing your best and having fun doing it. Jenny’s mom used to tell her that being crazy might not be so bad after all, and Jenny Lawson is proof of that.
One reason to listen:
This is a hilarious audiobook from the mind of comedian Jenny Lawson that features her crazy, odd and weird life in a nutshell to massage your ears as well as your heart and mind.

“My cheeks hurt from this book! My mom got the audio and I’ve started listening to the parts I’ve already read. Makes driving in traffic fun as I laugh historically at beastality and necrophilia while driving past what’s most likely “normal” price.” – Elena
