You don’t have to be happy. You just have to be honest.
The pursuit of happiness has been sold to us as the point of everything — and celebrated author and podcast host Nora McInerny is here to gently, lovingly, and hilariously call that out. The Happyish Deck is a 50-card oracle for people who are done performing joy and ready to embrace something more sustainable: the quiet, sturdy, deeply human state of happyish. Cards like “Life is not a self-improvement exercise,” “You are not a sad story,” and “Let it be complicated” don’t just give you permission to be imperfect — they insist on it.
No rules. No pressure. No toxic positivity. Just truth.
Why we carry this at Afro Anime Tarot: Spiritual practice isn’t always about ascension. Sometimes it’s about acceptance. The Happyish Deck is for the readers in our community who are tired of being told to raise their vibration and just need someone to sit with them in the complicated middle. Nora McInerny does that with more grace and humor than almost anyone — and this deck brings that energy directly into your daily practice.
