Summary

#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.

Critic reviews

“The Chelsea Handler I know is a take-no-prisoners activist for the causes she believes in. She brings the same fearlessness and commitment to telling her truth in this book. I’m hoping that one day, in exchange for this blurb, she will let me see the security camera footage of the dog fight in her bedroom.” (Trevor Noah)

Real and Lesson learning.

I enjoyed the fact she read her own book. it made me IAM and other things you would hear from a sibling. Very real, raw and honest. It's nice in that it is a bullshite story. It's pain, love and Bert and Bernice.

Love Chels

Too much talk about dogs, but I get it. I’m gonna look for a Dan for myself soon, he sounds great. You gave the gist of the book away in the interviews tbh but still cool. Thanks for narrating yourself!

Great Book!

I am a fan of Chelsea Handler and this book just made me like her more!
It’s an emotional, relatable and funny story. The book takes you through Chelsea’s life and is read so perfectly by her that you feel how she felt.
There is parts of the book you can really hear Chelsea experiencing the emotion as she rereads her past.

I would highly recommend; the comical twists that shine a different light on times of sadness is perfect and makes the book enjoyable!

Amazing!

I’ve liked Chelsea Handler, then really disliked Chelsea Handler and now I’m back to liking Chelsea Handler. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea (as we all aren’t) but I what I really liked about this book was the honesty and acknowledgment of who she is warts and all is so refreshing to me. It’s opened up questions about myself and my life, how I deal with things and I think any book that helps you do that is a really good one.

loved every second of it

So honest and not relatable at all, yet fascinating. She made me feel what she felt and what it was like. Loved it.
