Happyish Deck

$15.00

Description

Studies have shown that the pursuit of happiness can negatively impact your mental health (wtf? . . . and yet, somehow, we suspected as much). Nora McInerny-celebrated author and host of the Terrible, Thanks for Asking podcast-gets it. She's created this daily oracle/guidance deck for people who are done with the pursuit of unbridled happiness-and are ready to embrace its more stable cousin, a state of "happyish." Each card represents a helpful thought that McInerny herself has relied upon when life got dark--nuggets like "Life is not a self-improvement exercise," "You are not a sad story," and "Let it be complicated." Use 'em daily, weekly, hourly…whenever and wherever. No rules and no pressure.

Written by Nora McInerny.

  • Portfolio-style box with magnetic closure

After a cancer diagnosis, founder, Emily McDowell, learned that sometimes people drift away simply because they don’t know what to say. She also learned that there wasn’t a huge supply of greeting cards available that spoke authentically to complex or nontraditional life experiences. So in 2012 she started writing and illustrating her own cards, reflecting her real, complicated life—like Valentines for people who are kinda ambiguously dating, Mother’s Day cards for people who aren’t technically your mom, and cards for seriously ill people who might find “get well” messages awkward at best.

At Em & Friends, they make cards and products for the relationships people really have and the lives we really lead: relationships and lives that are messy and beautiful, tricky and wonderful, and a whole bunch of everything else in between.
