Book description
October 17th
Hey Sam,
I'm writing this between snorts of laughter and actual tears-again. You remember how I swore off memoirs after that depressing one about grief? Well, Jenny Lawson's Furiously Happy just rewired my brain. And honestly, hearing it read aloud by Jenny herself? That's the secret weapon.
I'd read Let's Pretend This Never Happened years ago, but Furiously Happy? It's the grown-up version. She doesn't just joke about having a panic attack while staring at a taxidermied raccoon (yes, that's a real thing in her house-she calls it "Raccoon, My Love"). She dives headfirst into the raw, ugly mess of depression and anxiety, then somehow turns it into something that makes you gasp-laugh until your ribs ache. Like when she describes trying to mail herself a cobra by accident. How is that even possible? And yet, she's dead serious about it.
Hearing her voice-warm, slightly breathless, full of that "I've lost my mind but I'm still here" energy-made it feel like she was sitting right beside me. Not lecturing. Just whispering, "Yeah, me too. I've cried over a squirrel's tiny death. It's fine." She doesn't sugarcoat the darkness ("I've spent years in the hospital, and I still can't find my keys"), but she'll pivot to "But also, I once tried to pet a bear named Gary and it was the best day." That's the magic. She's not saying "just be happy." She's saying, "Look at how weirdly, fiercely alive we can be-even when it's hard."
I'll never forget her line: "People with depression have a well for extreme emotion. Why not fill it with joy?" It's not fluffy. It's a lifeline. And the way she reads it aloud-like she's sharing a terrible, beautiful secret-made my throat close up. I kept pausing the audiobook to just... breathe.
You know those people who line up for her book signings clutching their Xanax bottles? I get it now. It's not about the pills. It's about feeling seen. Like someone who's actually been in the trenches of mental illness says, "You're not broken. You're just... furiously happy." And it's okay to laugh through the pain.
I'm listening to it again right now, and I'm still snorting at the part where she describes her "crying in the grocery store because the lettuce was judging me." It's not just funny-it's true. Like, oh my god, this is me true. And that's the gift. She doesn't fix it. She just says, "Hey, you're not alone in the weirdness."
So if you're carrying something heavy, or just tired of pretending everything's fine... listen to Jenny. Her voice is like a warm hug that also makes you snort. And honestly? After this book, I'm not just smiling. I'm furiously happy.
