In her hilarious memoir-meets-guide-to-life, comedian (and professional depressive) Jacqueline Novak
reveals the hidden pleasures of depression, advises readers on how to make the most of a cat hairâcovered life,
and helps them summon the strength to shed that bathrobe and face the world.
Exhausted? Run down? Filled with a vague sense of ennui, an occasional twinge of regret, or a hell of a lot of
mood stabilizers?
Then this is the book for you.
How to Weep in Public is both a tongue-in-cheek advice guide (from a person who has no business giving advice to
anyone!) and one womanâs breathless journey to consistently put on pants, or at least get out of bed in the morning.
Beginning with her earliest blue moments of infancy and hopscotching through her exploration of the world of
pharmaceuticals before bounding right back to her parentsâ couch, Jacqueline Novak will introduce you to the ABCs
(Adderall! Benzos! Catatonia!) of depression and reveal, funnily enough, that a lot can happen even when youâre
standing still.
Or, as it happens, lying down.
Whether youâre coping with the occasional down day or thrive fully in Picassoâs Blue Period, How to Weep in Public
is the perfect place to regroup between those nagging Tony Robbins tapes and that exhausting amount of âleaning in.â
So sit back, relax, and let Jacqueline Novak teach you how to carpe depressem with the rest of them.
