Em & Friends Happyish Cards - An Oracle Deck for People Going Through Hard Stuff (which is basically everybody)

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.
