emotional funny lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

5.0

Probably the funniest book I have listened to in a long time. As Maria Bamford bravely recounts her many adventures with group therapies and twelve step programs from debtors anonymous to couples therapy. Maria openly shares about her struggles with antidepressants, our healthcare system when it comes to mental health help and so much more. Although none of those topics sounds funny, trust me this book will have you laughing. 
Highly recommend, especially if you are depressed and need a laugh at the world and other situations.
