#1 New York Times Bestseller
In Furiously Happy, a humor memoir tinged with just enough tragedy and pathos to make it worthwhile, Jenny Lawson examines her own experience with severe depression and a host of other conditions, and explains how it has led her to live life to the fullest: I've often thought that people with severe depression have developed such a well for experiencing extreme emotion that they might be able to experience extreme joy in a way that 'normal people' also might never understand. And that's what Furiously Happy is all about. Jenny's readings are standing room only, with fans lining up to have Jenny sign their bottles of Xanax or Prozac as often as they are to have her sign their books. Furiously Happy appeals to Jenny's core fan base but also transcends it. There are so many people out there struggling with depression and mental illness, either themselves or someone in their family--and in Furiously Happy they will find a member of their tribe offering up an uplifting message (via a taxidermied roadkill raccoon). Let's Pretend This Never Happened ostensibly was about embracing your own weirdness, but deep down it was about family. Furiously Happy is about depression and mental illness, but deep down it's about joy--and who doesn't want a bit more of that?An Instant New York Times Bestseller

A new book from #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson, destined to be a classic--part therapy, part best friend, part humor, part coloring book. When Jenny Lawson is anxious, one of the things she does is to draw. Elaborate doodles, beautiful illustrations, often with captions that she posts online. At her signings, fans show up with printouts of these drawings for Jenny to autograph. And inevitably they ask her when will she publish a whole book of them. That moment has arrived. You Are Here is something only Jenny could create. A combination of inspiration, therapy, coloring, humor, and advice, this book is filled with Jenny's amazingly intricate illustrations, all on perforated pages that can be easily torn out, hung up, and shared. Drawing on the tenets of art therapy--which you can do while hiding in the pillow fort under your bed--You Are Here is ready to be made entirely your own. Some of the material is dark, some is light; some is silly and profane and irreverent. Gathered together, this is life, happening right now, all around, in its messy glory, as only Jenny Lawson could show us.The True Adventure of Golf

Yet as they trundle through the soothing nature of the course, she slowly starts to relax. Teeing up with her best friend, Olivia, Audrey takes her first swing--and misses. On the sidelines, Audrey's dad and Olivia cheer her on, encouraging her to try again. And this time, she makes a superb swing. Audrey, Olivia, and their dads continue to play the game with successes and mistakes alike, all the while enjoying the beautiful nature and each other's company.
A Good Day on the Green is an inspirational tale teaching golf etiquette and basic terminology while encouraging beginners not to feel intimidated trying out a new sport. It's not about being the best player but about the joyous, memorable time spent playing outside with your loved ones.
