#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This will be one of your favorite books of all time. Through her intensely vulnerable, honest, and hilarious reflections, Chelsea shows us more than just her insides. She shows us ourselves.”—Amy Schumer
Don’t miss Chelsea Handler’s new Netflix stand-up special, Revolution, now streaming!
In the wake of President Donald Trump’s election, feeling that her country—her life—has become unrecognizable, Chelsea Handler has an awakening. Fed up with the privileged bubble she’s lived in, she decides it’s time to make some changes.
She embarks on a year of self-sufficiency and goes into therapy, prepared to do the heavy lifting required to make sense of a childhood that ended abruptly with the death of her brother. She meets her match in an earnest, nerdy shrink who dissects her anger and gets her to confront her fear of intimacy. Out in the world, she channels her outrage into social action and finds her voice as an advocate for change. With the love and support of an eccentric cast of friends, assistants, family members (alive and dead), and a pair of emotionally withholding rescue dogs, Chelsea digs deep into the trauma that shaped her inimitable worldview and unearths some glittering truths that light up the road ahead.
Thrillingly honest and insightful, Chelsea Handler’s darkly comic memoir is also a clever and sly work of inspiration that gets us to ask ourselves what really matters in our own lives.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Chelsea Handler’s bold, irreverent honesty always slays us, but Life Will Be the Death of Me brings her candor to inspiring new heights. Hilarious and deeply personal, Handler’s memoir recounts how, at the pinnacle of her success, the comedian made an unexpected choice: to spend time trying to become a better person. She reads the audiobook herself, punctuating frank stories about everything from therapy to experiments with ayahuasca with her impeccable timing; she also bravely addresses childhood traumas, including her older brother’s tragic death. Through it all, Handler is fiercely witty, but for the first time, she’s something else, too: vulnerable.
Customer Reviews
Better than expected
I liked this book more than I thought I would. It took a few chapters for me to get hooked and there were parts that almost lost me but overall, it was relatable and funny! I actually laughed out loud a few times
Raw and Real
Loved this - a raw self examination with heart and some humor.
Amazing
I am a huge fan of Chelsea Handler’s books. I have listened to every single one she’s written and they are best when she’s the reader. This book does not disappoint. Although it does have many sad parts because she is discussing very painful experiences from her childhood, there are many parts that still make you laugh because of Chelsea’s infectious humor.
