A wonderfully candid memoir from one of the most recognizable faces of a generation actor
writer Youtuber and television superstar Josh Peck. In his warm and inspiring book Josh
reflects on the many stumbles and silver linings of his life and traces a zigzagging path to
redemption. Written with such impressive detail and aching honesty Happy People are Annoying
is full of surprising life lessons for anyone seeking to accept their past and make peace with
the complicated face in the mirror. Josh Peck rose to near-instant fame when he starred for
four seasons as the comedic center of Nickelodeon's hit show Drake & Josh. However while he
tried to maintain his role as the funniest happiest kid in every room Josh struggled alone
with the kind of rising anger and plummeting confidence that quietly took over his life. For
the first time Josh reflects on his late teens and early twenties. Raised by a single mother
and coming of age under a spotlight that could be both invigorating and cruel Josh filled the
cratering hole in his self-worth with copious amounts of food television drugs and all of
the other trappings of young stardom. Until he realized the only person standing in his
way...was himself. Today with a string of lead roles on hit television shows and movies and
one of the most enviable and dedicated fanbases on the internet Josh Peck is more than happy
he's finally enthusiastically content. Happy People are Annoying is the culmination of years
of learning growing and finding bright spots in the scary parts of life. Written with the
kind of humor strength of character and unwavering self-awareness only someone who has
mastered their ego can muster this memoir reminds us of the life-changing freedom on the other
side of acceptance.
