About this listen
Bryony Gordon presents the long-anticipated follow up to her phenomenal Number One Sunday Times Bestseller, Mad Girl.
Ten years on from first writing about her own experiences of mental illness, Bryony Gordon still receives messages about the effects it has on people. Now perimenopausal and well into the next stage of her life, parenting an almost-adolescent, just what has that help - and that connection with other unwell people - taught Bryony about herself, and the society we live in? What has she learned, and why have her views on mental health changed so radically? After coming out the other side of the biggest trauma of our living memory - a global pandemic - existing in a state of perma-crisis has now become our new normal.
From burnout and binge eating, to living with fluctuating hormones and the endless battle to stay sober, Bryony begins to question whether she got mental illness wrong in the first place. Is it simply a chemical imbalance, or rather a normal response from your brain telling you that something isn't right? Mad Woman explores the most difficult of all the lesson she's learned over the last decade - that our notion of what makes a happy life is the very thing that's making us so sad.

Descriptions of perimenopause diagnosis and help that some might find useful
Could do without the ultra annoying phone ringing sound effect - especially for those of us who use audiobooks as part of our sleep routine.

Funny, real and authentic
Wanting a break from my usual self development reads I opted for Mad Woman. I wasn’t disappointed. An excellent, insightful and well written book. Bryony offers a relatable, alternative and funny perspective to her mental health and perimenopause in the most entertaining way.
One of the best self development books I’ve read.

She does it again
Bryony always gives us the raw unfiltered truth of living with mental illness but still has a compassion and warmth that exudes out of her writing that makes the listener feel less alone.

Brilliant, if a little too on the nose
A really great, candid and funny book. I saw myself a lot in Bryony Gordon’s story, which made it a hard listen at points.
