Book Review Blurb: The Hilarious World of Depression by John Moe

This was an entertaining, moving peek behind the curtain of clinical depression (“Clinny D”). I wasn’t familiar with Moe or THWoD podcasts/online presence, but love the idea. Bringing well-known celebrities and personalities into the conversation to talk frankly about their struggles and successes is a brilliant way to begin to demystify and de-stigmatize depression, and Moe’s meld of his own experiences with those of his interviewees was an engaging, entertaining, and heartfelt way to do this. There are truly laugh-out-loud moments (hard as that may be to imagine), followed by stories that will break your heart. The highs-and-lows of this presentation style mimic the highs and lows experienced by those living with clinical depression, and made for a very authentic read that resonated.
