Nobody is perfect. It is something we work towards achieving. Messing up, falling, failing on the way—to rise up stronger. It is fine to be skinny, to be tall, to be short, to be fat, to be funny, being outspoken, being quiet—it is perfectly okay to be yourself. We all are masterpieces in progress. And we have compiled a list of books containing our everyday imperfect heroes, being perfectly themselves and winning the world.
Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things
By Jenny Lawson
Genre: Memoir
Why read it?
“Furiously Happy” is the second book written by Journalist, author, blogger Jenny Lawson. The first book "Let's Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir" is a critical darling and a highly recommendable book. But the second book deals with depression and a host of other mental ailments tinged with humour and pathos.
According to the author herself, “Irreverent humor for intellectual misfits. This book is about my battle with mental illness, but, more importantly, it’s about celebrating the battles we win against life and BS, and sometimes our very brains.”
Memorable quote: “There will be moments when you have to be a grown-up. Those moments are tricks. Do not fall for them.”
