520    "As Jenny Lawson's hundreds of thousands of fans know, she
       suffers from depression. In Broken (in the best possible 
       way), she explores her experimental treatment of 
       transcranial magnetic stimulation with brutal honesty. But
       also with brutal humor: "People do different things to 
       distract themselves during each treatment. I embroider. It
       feels fitting. I'm being magnetically stabbed in the head 
       thousands of times as I'm stabbing the embroidery myself. 
       I don't embroider the same patterns my grandmother did. I 
       embroider girls with octopus faces, David Bowie, a flowery
       bouquet with FUCK YES written in the middle. They let you 
       do anything as long as it's 'positive.'" 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. On the 
       lighter side, 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"--|cProvided by
