Summary

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。

I feel like Josh Peck gave himself far less credit than he deserves。Like many Millennials, I discovered Josh on The Amanda Show。 But he's widely know for his role on Drake and Josh, which is a show I literally still watch and I'm now 26。I was kind of expecting Happy People Are Annoying to be a tell all of what it's like to be a child actor。 But Josh quickly mentions how ordinary that is, and he's anything but ordinary。 He goes on to say people have a habit of assuming because we watched him (or I feel like Josh Peck gave himself far less credit than he deserves。Like many Millennials, I discovered Josh on The Amanda Show。 But he's widely know for his role on Drake and Josh, which is a show I literally still watch and I'm now 26。I was kind of expecting Happy People Are Annoying to be a tell all of what it's like to be a child actor。 But Josh quickly mentions how ordinary that is, and he's anything but ordinary。 He goes on to say people have a habit of assuming because we watched him (or any other character) grow up on television, that we somehow know who they are as a person。 But let me tell you, I was unprepared for everything he talked about in this book。This book kind of humanized Josh in a way that felt relatable。 He repeatedly had to change his preconceived notions of what it means to make it in Hollywood。 He talks about being sober。 He talks about his insecurities。 He talks about being in his 20's and thinking, "I have no idea what I'm doing with my life。" AND THAT'S ALL SO RELATABLE。So, my suggestion is we make Josh the leader of the millennials。That's all。More reviews at A Reader's Diary! 。。。more

I think I've always found Josh Peck to be funny。。。maybe it's cause I grew up in the heyday of his Nickelodeon days。 This autobiography was told with his trademark humour, and I found myself laughing at bits of it。 I have newfound respect for him now, and eagerly hope that he'll write another book because I honestly feel like I've sat down and had a conversation with him。 I think I've always found Josh Peck to be funny。。。maybe it's cause I grew up in the heyday of his Nickelodeon days。 This autobiography was told with his trademark humour, and I found myself laughing at bits of it。 I have newfound respect for him now, and eagerly hope that he'll write another book because I honestly feel like I've sat down and had a conversation with him。 。。。more
