Resumen del Editor

A powerful memoir that reckons with mental health as well as the insidious ways men impact the lives of women.

In early 2021, popular artist Anna Marie Tendler checked herself into a psychiatric hospital following a year of crippling anxiety, depression and self-harm. Over two weeks, she underwent myriad psychological tests, participated in numerous therapy sessions, connected with fellow patients and experienced profound breakthroughs, such as when a doctor noted, “There is a you inside that feels invisible to those looking at you from the outside.”

In Men Have Called Her Crazy, Tendler recounts her hospital experience as well as pivotal moments in her life that preceded and followed. As the title suggests, many of these moments are impacted by men: unrequited love in high school; the twenty-eight-year-old she lost her virginity to when she was sixteen; the frustrations and absurdities of dating in her mid-thirties; and her decision to freeze her eggs as all her friends were starting families.

This stunning literary self-portrait examines the unreasonable expectations and pressures women face in the 21st century. Yet overwhelming and despairing as that can feel, Tendler ultimately offers a message of hope. Early in her stay in the hospital, she says, “My wish for myself is that one day I’ll reach a place where I can face hardship without trying to destroy myself.” By the end of the book, she fulfills that wish.

Editorial Review

This is not a celebrity divorce exposé. It’s better.
Anna Marie Tendler’s memoir has been getting buzz since last spring, on account of her public split with a very famous ex as well as her own artistic renown. But guess what? The vibes have shifted, because early reviews confirm that a) the famous ex is but an unnamed blip in Tendler’s story, and b) the memoir is FANTASTIC. Men Have Called Her Crazy details the author’s stay at an inpatient psychiatric facility after her struggles with anxiety, depression, and self-harm became impossible to manage. Her eye-opening honesty, humor, and intelligent nuance in recounting both her experiences in recovery and the background that led her there—particularly her complicated history with men, which I suspect most women will find as powerfully relatable as I did—make for a captivating listen in Tendler’s own voice. Far more than tabloid fodder, it’s a deeply moving mental health memoir with staying power.— Kat J., Audible Editor

Felt incomplete

I was quite excited for this book, having been a fan of AMT’s artistic work for a few years. The narration was done well and added to the listening experience, it always feels special to listen to a story told in the author’s voice and cadence. However, the story felt incomplete. The discussion around the patriarchy seemed shallow due to Tendler’s lack of examination of how race and social class contributes to it, which is unfortunate because the topic comes up often. Another factor that contributed to the book’s incomplete feeling was the absence of John Mulaney. I knew beforehand that he would not be mentioned and there is probably a valid reason for that, but his absence left a gaping hole in the middle of the story, making it feel disjointed.
There also seemed to be a lack of sensitivity when Tendler mentioned her eating disorder. The book states her exact weight at her hospitalization intake (which can be distressing to those with eating disorders, especially because EDs are competitive), she repeatedly mentions her thinness, and does not talk about any steps to recovery in that area. There was slightly more attention given to DBT for Tendler’s anxiety and suicidality.
Overall, the book had some interesting/insightful sections, but felt like it was still missing things. It seems as though the story was written too early, more reflection and life experience would be beneficial.

Deeply thoughtful and beautifully written

I listened to every single word of this book. Beautifully written and read. I could relate to this book on a cellular level. I hope the author will continue to feel the peace she found.

Food for my soul

This book was like eating an incredibly delicious, comforting meal. I devoured it. It’s honest and vulnerable and sad and funny. I think if you or anyone you know struggles mentally, it’s a must-read. If you are a woman or you have women in your life, it’s a must-read. It’s such a relatable and helpful reminder that life is not linear, cycles are really hard to break, and that things actually can get better.

Honest

Devastating and Beautiful

The raw emotions and account of this book took my breath away. Tendler’s way of building a narrative of her navigation of a mental break was honest and powerful.

She is more than the exwife of a famous comedian. She is an artist and she exists outside of the small box society tries to stuff her into.

Highly recommended

Battling demons and mental health “help”

This is a first person sharing of a mental health journey, including symptomology and going to multiple therapists and treatment centers. The author is honest, vulnerable and open with her journey and shares the ups and downs of finding treatment and help. I wish the best for this author with many many years of good mental health. Thank you for sharing your story.

Amazing story!

Anna’s telling of her time in a psychiatric hospital was touching and relatable. She’s an amazing storyteller and her voice is perfect for e-books. I would suggest this to anyone and especially if you’ve struggled with any mental health issues.

marvelous

I loved this book! I found myself yelling I'm agreement through many chapters. The concise descriptions and back and forth delivery were my favorite parts. I can't wait to relisten to this again!
