About this listen

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Jenny Lawson comes her most personal book yet.

As Jenny Lawson’s hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken, she explores her experimental treatment of transcranial magnetic stimulation with brutal honesty. But also with brutal humour. Jenny discusses the frustration of dealing with her insurance company in ‘An Open Letter to My Insurance Company’, which should be an anthem for anyone who has ever had to call their insurance company to try and get a claim covered. She tackles such timelessly debated questions as ‘How do dogs know they have penises?’ We see how her vacuum cleaner almost set her house on fire, how she was attacked by three bears, business ideas she wants to pitch to Shark Tank, and why she can never go back to the post office. Of course, Jenny’s long-suffering husband Victor, the Ricky to Jenny’s Lucille Ball, is present throughout.

A treat for Jenny Lawson’s already existing fans, and destined to convert new ones, Broken is a beacon of hope and a wellspring of laughter.

This audiobook includes an exclusive bonus chapter.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

An absolute bore

Story makes no sense from start to finish. A bunch of mismatched stories that make absolutely no sense whatsoever. It’s like an ADHD child wrote a bunch of stories and maybe mum and dad should have told them no, instead of encouraging them to make it into a “book”. How on earth this ended up on NYT best sellers I have no idea. Starting to think it’s just a paid gig to get on the list…. Only funny part was listening to viewers stories on embarrassing things. The rest was cringe to say the least.
Only read as part of book club which I’m also second guessing…

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
