{"product_id":"the-hilarious-world-of-depression","title":"The Hilarious World of Depression","description":"One of Today's Ten Best Inspirational Books, 2020\nBy the creator and host of the acclaimed mental health podcast Depresh Mode with John Moe\n\n\"[A] path to deeper understanding and openness, by way of laughter in the dark\" ―The New York Times Book Review\n\n\"Filled with heart, humor and hope.\" ―People\n\n\"A funny, honest book.\" ―Neil Gaiman\n\n\"Candid and funny and intimate.\" ―Susan Orlean\n\nFor years John Moe, critically-acclaimed public radio personality and host of The Hilarious World of Depression podcast, struggled with depression; it plagued his family and claimed the life of his brother in 2007. As Moe came to terms with his own illness, he began to see similar patterns of behavior and coping mechanisms surfacing in conversations with others, including high-profile comedians who’d struggled with the disease. Moe saw that there was tremendous comfort and community in open dialogue about these shared experiences and that humor had a unique power. Thus was born the podcast The Hilarious World of Depression.\n\nInspired by the immediate success of the podcast, Moe has written a remarkable investigation of the disease, part memoir of his own journey, part treasure trove of laugh-out-loud stories and insights drawn from years of interviews with some of the most brilliant minds facing similar challenges. Throughout the course of this powerful narrative, depression’s universal themes come to light, among them, struggles with identity, lack of understanding of the symptoms, the challenges of work-life, self-medicating, the fallout of the disease in the lives of our loved ones, the tragedy of suicide, and the hereditary aspects of the disease.\n\nThe Hilarious World of Depression illuminates depression in an entirely fresh and inspiring way.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1250209285\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UIVY000G5C_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Moe, John\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
