Publisher's Summary

Minneapolis rock legend Mark Mallman woke at 3:00 a.m. with a crushing panic attack that wouldn't end. He responded by pouring songs into a happiness playlist and leaning on the wisdom of friends. This is the true story of a man beset by grief, healed by music, and learning to laugh through it all.

Critic Reviews

“Mark Mallman is legitimately original, exclusively motivated by a desire to conquer the strange obstructions he builds inside his mind." (Chuck Klosterman, author of Fargo Rock City: A Heavy Metal Odyssey in Rural North Dakota)

“This brave and masterfully written book is a testament to the power of love and art. Read it and become obsessed." (Diablo Cody, academy award-winning screenwriter of Juno and creator of United States of Tara)

The Happiness Playlist is funny, thought-provoking, and just plain helpful. It's the best book on grief that I've ever picked up. This examination of music-listening as a method to combat heartbreak is a joy to read. You need it." (Craig Finn, leader of the critically acclaimed American indie rock band The Hold Steady)
