Christy may be a comedian, but this is a serious book. It's a very serious topic and one that we see affecting many of our comedians past and present. It is a perfect topic for a comedian to cover because, as a group, most comedians are affected by anxiety and depression. We use humor as a coping mechanism in dealing with stress in our search for happiness. We search and search for exterior elements to make us happy, but that won't happen, at least not for the long-run. True happiness comes from within.

Christy has been doing standup for over 15 years. She has been suffering from anxiety and depression for twice as long. It has taken her decades of trial and error to figure out what works for her to cope.

There are many books on motivation, anxiety and depression, stress management, and personal transformation. Rarely, do any of them discuss happiness and how to achieve it. In this book, you will be able to define stress and identify stressors, discover helpful and effective stress management techniques that have been proven to work, and develop a plan to reach your goals. This book will help you realize what happiness means to you. Similar books may cover one of these topics, but she wanted to create one book that encompasses all of them. Christy makes the material relatable by using pop culture references to illustrate her points.

I wish a book like this had been available twenty years ago when I was going through my deepest depression. But it is available now!
