Janai Norman
At the height of her success, Janai Norman experienced a mental health episode so consuming that one evening—while alone with her two small children—she locked herself in her office, called her husband back home from the grocery store, and ordered an Uber to the hospital where she was admitted to the psychiatric ward. There, she was given a diagnosis: Borderline Personality Disorder.
What follows is an interrogation of self that takes the reader from the shiny veneer of daytime television into the murky spaces of buried trauma, self-doubt, the challenging demands of juggling career with motherhood, and self-care. But it also breaks through to the clarity and the hope that comes from self-discovery and self-acceptance.
Breaking is a triumphant story of honoring one’s whole self and choosing to live more fully.

Recensies van critici
“It takes courage to present our most vulnerable and fractured selves on the page and to the world, especially for those whose careers require them to perform as avatars of perfection. In this honest and triumphant work of self-reckoning, the celebrated news anchor Janai Norman doesn’t flinch. Her vivid, moving journey offers an example of what it looks like to heal oneself first. There’s no doubt that others will be healed by reading her words.”—Darnell L. Moore, author of No Ashes in the Fire: Coming of Age Black & Free in America
“High achievers are often the last people anyone thinks to worry about, and are the last to ask for help. In Breaking, Janai Norman shows us what the facade was covering: a woman excelling on national television while quietly struggling to hold herself together. She doesn’t claim to speak for everyone living with borderline personality disorder, or to have it all figured out. She tells the truth about her own life, with a reporter’s eye and considerable courage, and that is what makes this book valuable. For anyone whose success has seemed to leave no room to struggle, Norman’s story offers permission to stop performing and start getting well.”—Dr. Judith Joseph, psychiatrist, TIME100 Creator, and bestselling author of High Functioning
“So proud of my friend Janai. Her courage in telling her story will help so many people improve their mental health. Bravo!”—Dan Harris, former ABC news anchor, correspondent, and New York Times bestselling author of 10% Happier
