About this audiobook

The funny, sad, super-honest, all-true story of Chelsea Handler's year of self-discovery—featuring a nerdily brilliant psychiatrist, a shaman, four Chow Chows, some well-placed security cameras, various family members (living and departed), friends, assistants, and a lot of edibles

In a haze of vape smoke on a rare windy night in L.A. in the fall of 2016, Chelsea Handler daydreams about what life will be like with a woman in the White House. And then Donald Trump happens. In a torpor of despair, she decides that she's had enough of the privileged bubble she's lived in—a bubble within a bubble—and that it's time to make some changes, both in her personal life and in the world at large.

At home, she embarks on a year of self-sufficiency—learning how to work the remote, how to pick up dog shit, where to find the toaster. She meets her match in an earnest, brainy psychiatrist and enters into therapy, prepared to do the heavy lifting required to look within and make sense of a childhood marked by love and loss and to figure out why people are afraid of her. She becomes politically active—finding her voice as an advocate for change, having difficult conversations, and energizing her base. In the process, she develops a healthy fixation on Special Counsel Robert Mueller and, through unflinching self-reflection and psychological excavation, unearths some glittering truths that light up the road ahead.

Thrillingly honest, insightful, and deeply, darkly funny, Chelsea Handler's memoir keeps readers laughing, even as it inspires us to look within and ask ourselves what really matters in our own lives.

Editor's Note

Whacky turn…

Actress and author Chelsea Handler does a deep-dive looking for herself and what really matters in her memoir about turning over a new leaf (whacky hijinks ensue). Handler has a podcast by the same name, “Life Will Be the Death of Me,” where she interviews other comedians.

    Chelsea broke a couple of times, and it was great to hear the emotion behind her story. So passionate about meaningful things and she sounded happy to be in this new found place. Awesome read! F*%k Trump!

    Mildly amusing.... couldn't finish it. I'm not interested in a rich, self-absorbed Hollywood star with some pop- discovery, pseudo introspective narrative. However, she's probably a very nice person.

    Everyone needs to hear this! It’s funny, but more than that it is enlightening and cold hard truth. Get on your own team and do yourself a favor and read this book!!

    It was good book, the only thing... it’s very political. She has a very big opinion on Donald Trump, which she shares over and over and over again... that’s the only thing I didn’t like

    I’ve been a fan of Chelsea Handler for a long, long time. I’ve read her books, watched her shows- but I am left merely speechless with her latest piece of work. I have loved watching the evolution of Ms. Handler through her work. The displays of vulnerability, authenticity, bravery, and real life humor are a sure delight that I am happy to have experienced. I recommend anyone who is thinking of reading/listening to this book that they take the plunge!

    Chelsea is simply fantastic. I probably watched 2 of her shows, always enjoyed her jokes...but what made this book so dear to me: first her voice reading it...it’s like now I look forward to hear more of it and 2 it’s deep and personal to her...such a joy...wish her the best...only the best.

    It was like sitting with a friend who has had, or is experiencing, an awakening. I applaud Chelsea and thank her for letting me be part of her life experience.
