"What do you do when your mind is trying to kill you? Depression had John Moe questioning every part of his life, from his loving marriage and children to his career as a beloved public radio personality. He lived in desperate hope that the next success would grant him happiness and finally destroy his dark moods. But depression is not an emotional response to upsetting events. It is a mental illness that distorts reality and claims lives. In this moving and funny book, Moe pulls the conversation about depression out of the darkness. With hard-earned wisdom, he reveals his difficulties with finding -- and keeping -- a therapist (it's like dating), imposter syndrome, survivor's guilt, and unresolved trauma from a childhood besieged by alcohol, addiction, and Cold War fears. Part memoir, part treasure trove of stories with insights drawn from years of interviews with celebrated guests, from John Green and NPR's Peter Sagal to Margaret Cho and Andy Richter, The Hilarious World of Depression illuminates depression in an entirely fresh and hopeful way, showing that it's okay not to be okay, and it's also okay to laugh about it."--,Provided by publisher.
