Publisher's summary

Narrated by Josh Peck

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.

Worth the Listen

Good balance of life story without getting into the weeds. Been a huge fan of his work since Max Keebles Big Move and found his journey east to relate to having had zero of the same experiences!

this book made me feel less alone

I loved this book so much. I grew up with a similar start with dad bailing, so it was nice to see how I'm not alone.

I love Josh and this book

Really enjoyed having him read the book. I loved watching Drake and Josh, and it was really cool hearing his life story. Also very interesting and moving to hear his struggle with addiction, especially as someone who has had family members and friends who struggled with addiction as well as obesity. Really enjoyed this book!

I loved this book!

I never EVER write out reviews but, this one was so special to me. I grew up watching the Amanda Show then Drake and Josh and even Grandfathered when I got older. Everything Josh Peck has ever put out filled me with so much joy, from TV to vines, and I can’t believe along the way he was hurting so much… this book was a beautiful story of resilience and love despite trial. Thank you Josh!
