Broken (in the best possible way) is a book filled with humor and honesty about depression and anxiety. In this book, she brings her readers along on her mental and physical health journey. She offers many funny anecdotes along the way. Depression and anxiety is affecting more people than ever and Jenny finds a way to humanize the experience by reassuring everyone that they are not alone. The book is great for long time fans or people who are checking her out for the first time.

Furiously Happy: A Funny Book About Horrible Things is a unique book: a hilarious and ridiculous story about crippling depression and anxiety. Lawson makes it work though. Furiously Happy is about the moments in life when things are fine and making them amazing. Not just because those moments make us, but because those moments that we’ll need when the depression and anxiety set in. The book is filled with Lawson’s brand of humor and honesty. Jenny shares the message to embrace everything about who we are and using it to find joy in our lives.
