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.

L'autrice esplora la sua lotta lifelong con la malattia mentale in modo umoristico e sincero. Affronta l'assurda idea di discutere di depressione e ansia debilitante attraverso una lente di risate e stravaganza. Il concetto di essere "furiosamente felici" può sembrare un modo per giustificare l'irresponsabilità, ma è una celebrazione dell'abbracciare i momenti bizzarri della vita. Racconta con umorismo le sue esperienze, come invitare canguri a casa, evidenziando l'assurdità della vita e delle relazioni. I suoi amici, meravigliosamente imperfetti, hanno imparato a essere aperti riguardo alle loro difficoltà, trasformando le loro vulnerabilità in una normalità condivisa. Il libro sottolinea l'importanza di cogliere i momenti gioiosi, che servono da contrappeso nei periodi bui. Contrappone il semplice "sopravvivere alla vita" al vero "vivere la vita", suggerendo che la gioia può trovarsi nelle situazioni più inaspettate. Il mix unico di umorismo e onestà di Lawson rende le sue intuizioni sia relazionabili che esilaranti. Quest'opera celebra tutti gli aspetti delle nostre identità—sia belli che imperfetti—e incoraggia i lettori a trovare gioia nell'assurdo.

Every teenager wants to fit in and be just like everybody else, but as Jenny Lawson grows up, falls in love, gets engaged and starts a family of her own, she learns that life's most absurd and humiliating moments are the very moments that make us who we are.
