The "forensic memoir" of a funny small-town kid with family issues and bipolar genes who dreams of big cities, happiness and fame. He encounters all three in a coast-to-coast timeline of surprising events, unpredictable people, and accidental discoveries.
"Funny, profound, and astoundingly witty." –Goodreads
“Like every good satirist, Garry Lee has a slightly different perspective than the rest of the world...a sharp eye for the vagaries and oddities of life."
– Bill Clotworthy ("Dr. No"), former censor, Saturday Night Live
“A heartfelt and hilarious look back in time. Baby Boomers will find a kindred spirit in Garry Lee Wright."
– Tim Walsh, author of "Timeless Toys" and star of "Toyland"
“Garry Lee's observations have never ceased to amaze me. On the radio or ruminating in print or on the Internet, he has a valuable, unique voice. And he's laugh-out-loud funny."
– Adam Buckman, TVHowl.com, author of "Jerk"
"Curl up with it like you would a favorite song on the radio."
– Tom Clavin, author of "Last Men Out" and "Gil Hodges"
“Garry is one of the funniest and smartest guys I know, and also one of the most generous. When I was unable to afford a couch, he gave me his. It was missing a leg and required a soup can for support. But he also gave me the soup can.”
– Charlie Meyerson, WXRT, ChicagoTribune.com, WGN, @Meyerson

Happiness for Beginners eBook Garry Lee Wright Reviews
Heartfelt thanks to both Garry Lee Wright and GoodReads for providing me with an Autographed FREE COPY of the book Happiness for Beginners (happinessforbeginners.com). I was the Lucky winner in Garry Lee Wright's GoodReads Book Giveaway and I really appreciate the opportunity to read and review his excellent glimpse into his reality.
Excerpt
"Serendipity means `accidental discovery'. Most of the important discoveries in my life have come by accident. But I'm convinced there's no such thing as coincidence."
I have never believed in coincidence. I even have a tattoo on my arm that symbolizes the word "destiny", i.e. no such thing as coincidence. It has to be destiny that this book found me.
The most endearing character for me was Blanche, the mother. The stories of her depression cooking reminded me of my grandmother, who played a large part in raising me, and great-grandmother who visited often. I have to tell you that when I read about Blanche I went out and got myself some potato soup and lemon pie. It just wasn't the same as it would've been had it been homemade.
I blame my grandmother for my predisposition for hoarding. A quality Blanche seemed to exhibit as well. I too can fix anything with duct-tape. Not sure if that skill is inherited or a side effect of motherhood.
My family rivaled the author's when it came to the crazy train. He talks about the doctors running out of space for the diagnoses, but in my case I think they ran out of diagnoses! I also related to his career crisis, as I too jumped from one profession to another trying to find my fit in the world. It is amazing to me how many of the same choices we made on that front; radio, sales, stand-up comedy, entrepreneur (never caught, lol!), and I never stopped being a consultant (I don't think anyone ever can!).
Excerpt
"Faith is a good thing, but religion would be more popular with me if the worst people in the world didn't think that whenever they bow their heads, a red phone rings on God's desk."
I couldn't agree with the author more. I find it difficult sometimes being around so many people of "faith". I notice that most of the people who share my overall views of family, politics, and the like are religious. Organized religion has never been my strong suit.
Having spent a good portion of my life in Southern California, mostly San Diego and Los Angeles, it took me back to read the author's account of good old Cali'. I forgot how much I missed it. How much I consider it home. Thought is different on the West Coast, people are different.
Like the author physical ailments affect me now. I learned to ask questions too, but mine is closed on more than just Mondays. It is always fulfilling in some strange way to meet a kindred spirit on this twisted road we call life, and if I weren't already taken I'd say Garry Lee Wright was my soulmate!
I would like to HIGHLY RECOMMEND Happiness for Beginners by Garry Lee Wright to all who need a deep laugh, a good cry, a sweet story, a new journey, a winding path, or a friend along the way!

I enjoyed this book immensely.. I won a copy of it in a goodreads giveaway, from the author Garry Lee Wright (Thank you!) This is one of the most interesting autobiographies that I have read. Garry has been through so many ups and downs, yet always seems to stay positive & find humor where possible. There were many times that this book literally made me laugh out loud.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It was funny, profound, and astoundingly witty. More than once, I laughed until I had tears rolling down my cheeks, and I found myself nodding at the author's wisdom more times than I could count. I LOVED the cover art--it was so fitting--and I think my life is honestly better for having read this book. I'm just hoping the author publishes something else soon, because this book is truly a gem.
I always enjoy diving into a book about another person's life, about their triumphs and downfalls, and this was no different. I was amazed at all that Garry experienced in life, and his nomadic tendency to bouncy from job to job. I am currently experiencing a version of that constantly wondering what the next great opportunity could be while I am working at one job or another. In contrast, I can't say that I've have the moving experiences that he's had, remaining in one city thus far in my life.
Although a lot of the references to media icons were over my head, I reveled in seeing what the experience of this particular baby boomer was like. I especially enjoyed the embedded stories that were created offering a different perspective of certain situations, such as Thanksgiving and the future version of Back-to-School. I wouldn't mind reading another book by this author comprised solely of these imaginative little stories.
Garry's personal journey offers the reader plenty of life lessons that should be taken to heart, all the while learning to grab any and all opportunities that may arise in an individual's life. Life should always be viewed as a roller coaster, with it's ups and downs, slow points and thrilling descents, greeted with an open curiosity, never with fear.
The title sounds like a self-help book -- and I guess it is, if you look at the themes behind the stories and the little satire sketches. Very entertaining.
