"Jenny Lawson returns to narrate her third installment in a disheveled saga of finding the light at the end of a long, winding, ludicrous tunnel.... Another treasure in the Lawson collection, this audiobook shines with a powerful message: Depression and anxiety suck, but we can rise above them." (AudioFile magazine, Earphones Award winner)

From the number one New York Times best-selling author of Furiously Happy and Let’s Pretend This Never Happened comes a deeply relatable audiobook filled with humor and honesty about depression and anxiety.

*This program includes an audio-exclusive bonus chapter*

As Jenny Lawson’s hundreds of thousands of fans know, she suffers from depression. In Broken (in the Best Possible Way), Jenny brings listeners along on her mental and physical health journey, offering heartbreaking and hilarious anecdotes along the way.

With people experiencing anxiety and depression now more than ever, Jenny humanizes what we all face in an all-too-real way, reassuring us that we’re not alone and making us laugh while doing it. From the business ideas that she wants to pitch to Shark Tank to the reason why Jenny can never go back to the post office, Broken leaves nothing to the imagination in the most satisfying way. And 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 when we all need it most.

Jenny shares her experience with depression, anxiety, and many other health challenges by articulating how it feels to be in the pit of depression but she always reaches for hope too. She reminds us throughout the book that good days will come again. She teaches us through her stories that perspective is important whether it’s lawn gerbils or hiding in the bathroom. Thank you Jenny for reasons to laugh after a year of reasons to cry. This book makes me laugh and cry and feel seen when I think no one else will ever understand me.

Thank you for hope!

There is something about reading/listening to a Jenny Lawson novel. It’s hilarious and sad and uplifting and inspiring. I found myself laughing at parts normal people probably side-eye others for laughing at and out loud when strangers were near. And there are a few chapters of such wonder and beauty that I wanted to live in them for a little while longer.

I love reading her novels because I know I will never meet her in person and these little pockets of her life shared are enough to make me appreciate being an author myself and a fellow human being.
