Jenny Lawson: Broken

Because you are defined not by life's imperfect moments, but by your reaction to them. And because there is joy in embracing - rather than running from - the utter absurdity of life.’ - Jenny Lawson
Whether she’s speaking from her award-winning blog, or the top of the New York Times bestseller list, Jenny Lawson’s irreverent writing style is a balm for anyone feeling a bit ‘broken’. The journalist, author and humorist responsible for memoir hits, Let’s Pretend This Never Happened and Furiously Happy, is back with another collection of darkly humourous essays in Broken that are both entertaining and a brutally honest look at living with mental illness.
Hear Jenny Lawson’s refreshing take on depression and anxiety through a magical mystery tour of anecdotes relating to health insurance, taxidermy and why she can never go to the post office again.
