About this listen
“A raw and raucous exploration of Handler’s ongoing search for self . . . [She’s] disarming us with humor to get at our softest selves and meeting us with her own.”—Oprah Daily
There’s a woman I want to become, Chelsea Handler thought as a child. She’ll be strong and confident. She’ll light up a room and spread that light to make others feel better. She’ll make a living being herself. She’ll be a survivor.
At ten years old, Chelsea opened a lemonade stand and realized she’d make more money if the drinks were spiked. So she added vodka to her recipe and used her earnings to upgrade herself to first-class on a family vacation—leaving her parents and siblings in coach. She moved to Los Angeles and got fired from her temp job when she admitted she didn’t know how to transfer calls. She’s played pickleball with the scions of an American dynasty. She’s sexted a governor. She shared psychedelics with strangers in Spain. When she accidentally ended up at dinner with Woody Allen, she was not going to leave the table without asking him a very personal pointed question. She went on national television and talked about having threesomes. She's never been one to hold back.
But this life of adventure and absurdity is only part of her story. Chelsea knows what it is to truly show up for her family—canine and human, biological and chosen. She’s discovered how to spend time with herself, how to meditate, how to be open to love, and how to end a relationship with dignity. She is a sister to the many women who rely on her.
Surprisingly vulnerable and always outrageous, Chelsea Handler captures the antic-filled, exhilarating, and joyful life she’s built—a life that makes the rest of us think, I’ll have what she’s having.
Critic Reviews
“A characteristically hilarious and vulnerable collection of essays that tell the tale of how this one-of-a-kind comedian became the woman she always wanted to be.”—Katie Couric Media
“[Handler disarms] us with humor to get at our softest selves and meeting us with her own.”—Oprah Daily
“Chelsea Handler is getting vulnerable in her latest literary endeavor!”—People
“Essays that pull no punches . . . Handler is most genuine in this book as she learns that extending that generosity to others is the key to happiness. Her words of wisdom are specifically geared toward women who are too often told that selflessness is next to godliness. . . . A funny and upbeat ‘live, laugh, love’ message like only Handler can deliver.”—Library Journal, starred review
“Short essays . . . delivered with a disarming friendliness laced with [Handler’s] trademark archness. Handler is a cheerleader for everyone worthy of cheers, and especially women. . . . A pleasingly unformulaic book of hard-won advice that never rings false.”—Kirkus Reviews
