Life Will Be the Death of Me
#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.

When I decided to read this book I was expecting to laugh, I was not expecting to find support for my current journey of self discovery. CH manages to keep the mood light and comedic while also talking about painful parts of her life and her journey of self discovery. I recommend this book to anyone that enjoys good comedy and anyone that needs a little nudge of support when it comes to their own journey of self discovery.

Every book I read of hers I think it’s my favorite until I read the next. I never wanted this book to end, I feel like I actually grew as a person reading that book, I laughed, I cried, laughed some more. It was everything my soul needed

Chelsea really opened up in this book. I was expecting it to laugh through the entire book; instead I found another way in which I connect with her. She always seems so in touch with her feelings/opinions, and in this book she admitted that she was not, and got professional help (which she had always been against). I loved her sincerity.

No words.... this book was everything I wanted to read for a while. I laughed, cried, felt humbled, an awake of consciousness and empowerment. Thank you Chelsea!
