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 author delves into her lifelong struggle with mental illness in a humorous and candid manner. She tackles the seemingly absurd idea of discussing crippling depression and anxiety through a lens of laughter and outrageousness. As she notes, the concept of being "furiously happy" might seem like a cover for irresponsibility, but it’s a celebration of embracing life’s bizarre moments. She humorously recounts her own experiences, like inviting kangaroos into her home, highlighting the absurdity of life and relationships. Most of her cherished friends are also wonderfully flawed, and they’ve learned to be open about their struggles, transforming their vulnerabilities into a shared normalcy. The book emphasizes the importance of seizing joyful moments, which serve as a counterbalance during darker times. It contrasts merely "surviving life" with truly "living life," suggesting that joy can be found in the most unexpected situations. Lawson’s unique blend of humor and honesty shines throughout, making her insights both relatable and laugh-out-loud funny. This work is a celebration of all aspects of our identities—both beautiful and flawed—and encourages readers to find joy in the outrageous.

Jenny Lawson patří k nejvtipnějším a nejsledovanějším americkým bloggerkám, kterou oceňují i takové známé osobnosti jako Neil Gaiman pro její odvážně černý, politicky nekorektní, často bizarní humor, s jakým glosuje svůj život. Ve své literární prvotině popisuje klíčové události z dětství, které prožila v zapadlém městečku bůhvíkde v Texasu.…
