First-hand account of NBC's chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel's two decades of reporting stories of the Middle East revolutions, the Arab Spring, war, and terrorism seen up-close--sometimes dangerously so. Over two decades Engel has been under fire, blown out of hotel beds, and taken hostage. He has watched Mubarak and Morsi in Egypt arrested and condemned, reported from Jerusalem, been through the Lebanese war, covered the whole shooting match in Iraq, interviewed Libyan rebels who toppled Gaddafi, reported from Syria as Al-Qaeda stepped in, and was kidnapped in the Syrian cross currents of fighting. He goes into Afghanistan with the Taliban and to Iraq with ISIS.

Furiously happy

{a funny book about horrible things}
Jenny Lawson explores her lifelong battle with mental illness. A hysterical, ridiculous book about crippling depression and anxiety? That sounds like a terrible idea. But terrible ideas are what Jenny does best. Furiously happy is about "taking those moments when things are fine and making them amazing, because those moments are what make us who we are, and they're the same moments we take into battle with us when our brains declare war on our very existence." It's the difference between "surviving life" and "living life". This is a book about embracing everything that makes us who we are - the beautiful and the flawed - and then using it to find joy in fantastic and outrageous ways.
