Life Will Be the Death of Me: ...And You Too!

Honest, funny, easy reading

'Life Will Be the Death of Me...and you too!' is an easy book to read, because Chelsea Handler writes in conversational style. One gets the impression that they are hearing Chelsea's voice speaking to them. This is a compelling read, because 'we,' the readers are watching Ms. Handler delve into the therapy of uncovering the 'whys and wherefores' of the actions she has taken in her life. // Another reviewer complained that they didn't think this book was as funny or humorous as other books she has written. That's true, because this book isn't meant to be a comedy. It's meant to reveal the therapy she went into to uncover her motivations in how she lives her life. Therapy isn't meant to be 'a laugh a minute.' However, this wouldn't be a true Chelsea Handler book is there weren't some quite funny events that she discusses. // If honest personal analysis is something you are interested in, this is a good book to explore. If you were ever interesting in what life is like as an American celebrity, this is a revealing book. If you've ever experienced deep and emotional losses in your life, and lived with the aftermath of those losses you will want to read this book. If you admire people who are open and honest about their lives, you will like this book. If you find humor in the often absurd aspects of life, or have experienced family disfunction and trauma, if you would like to know Chelsea Handler and how she survived these aspects of life, this is the book for you.

I have never been a big fan of Chelsea Handler’s, but this book came recommended. The parts about her family (much of the book) are so vividly, humorously and poignantly written that the stories connected me back to my family stories and experiences. The only part I didn’t enjoy was the last few pages in which she talks about how one should live. She just kind of rattled out tons of advice in a rushed manner and further, a lot of it was fairly obvious suggestions. I think the ending should have stayed off the self-help book vibe. Otherwise, really good read. I see view her much differently now.

“Through her intensely vulnerable, honest, and hilarious reflections Chelsea shows us more than just her insides. She shows us ourselves.” —Amy SchumerThis is the first book by this Author I have read. So, I am neural in my review of being a follower or critic.I have possibly survived my own Jewish, emotionally detached husband but I was not really like Chelsea’s Mom. I was not a Mormon...but wanted to live with an Amish family once to learn to be simpler.After seeing Chelsea on Ellen talking about her book, I realized I had a crush on Robert Mueller, too. Rather than feeling wrong, I needed to dive deeper into those feelings. I ordered the book for both of my adult daughters and as usual got one for me last.I realized while reading the book that no one has ever given me a fresh picked orange 🍊... I have however, ugly cried that way without witnesses.I never saw my Mom ugly cry and I am not sure if Chelsea ever saw her Mom cry like that either. But, I had seen my Mom as I was growing up, come from her room with ugly cry red marks on the outer corners of her eyes. As she smiled singing, “Que Sera Sera.”I have had and still have pseudo children pets. I have experienced Chelsea’s love for them. Some of her crawling on the floor moments hit home for me, but mine were as untrained as I am. And, I didn’t have a Todd or Larry or Fred. I had and have to pick up dog poo myself.But, I did survive an emotionally detached Jewish parenting husband and lived on the East Coast. Secretly wanting to runaway to California.I never had a Dan either. But, I have lost my brother, father, mother and pets..and probably have some unexpressed grief that comes in waves without a raft.So, I will get an Orange 🍊 and peel it today by stabbing it with my fingernails while ugly crying or just to see if I can peel one that way.I loved the book. You will find parts of yourself in it somewhere and I believe the intent of the book in Chelsea’s unveiling was to hand you an orange, too.

Book is great and the quality and fast delivery is good too

I ordered Life Will Be the Death of Me because I think Chelsea Handler is hilarious and uses her voice/platform to shine a light on and educate people about important issues in a really fun and funny way. This is really impressive because it is not easy to hear about what is happening in our country and end up smiling or laughing. Life Will Be the Death of me had the fun spirited and funny moments that I hoped for where I found myself laughing out loud. It also touched on important current social/political topics. So it fully fulfilled my expectations in those areas :) What made the book so special to me were all of the ways that Chelsea went above and beyond in sharing her life experiences, healing process, and lessons learned. I found myself having these huge ah-ha moments about my own life- where I would put the book down and reflect on decisions and behaviors in my life and have new insights into my motivations and/or subconscious reactions and drives. It is always a gift and extremely brave when someone shares their story. With Life Will Be the Death of Me Chelsea did this in a way that lets readers get a more holistic understanding of who she is and the path she has traveled. The down to earth, open, and real way she selflessly communicates also gives readers the chance to get this same more holistic understanding of ourselves. This book is awesome. Reading it is a great way to start the summer off.

Comprei o livro de capa mole, e chegou com desgaste de cor na lombada e ainda com a capa descolada nas pontas.Encomendei livro novo e veio usado.

Muy diferente a los libros previos de Chelsea. Tiene un gran mensaje, vale la pena leerlo.Definitivamente lo recomiendo y lo he regalado a quienes sé que puede ser de utilidad.

This book was a surprise knockout for me. There are very funny parts, and lightly amusing parts, but the thing that really sticks out are the painful, personal stories Chelsea tells about her childhood, adolescence and more recent adult years. There were parts that made me gasp out loud - moments where I felt such compassion for her it hurt. But this book was truly transformative to read - as she takes us on a journey through her own therapeutic breakthroughs and life-changing experiences (like a certain drug experience in Peru) it feels like you're growing right along with her. There were things I identified with so strongly that it was like reading my own inner thoughts/experiences on paper, even though I'd consider us to be absolutely different kinds of people.This book is an exploration of anger, momentum, and what fuels a person. It's a wild ride - you won't regret taking it with her.

Amazing book. Funny, sad, informative, inspiring. This woman is funnier than anyone and this book not only makes you laugh out loud but also uplifts you and makes you remember we’re all on the same journey to healing from out pasts. I will be re-reading this forever. There really is something in here for anyone and everyone will come out of it a slightly better person. Can’t rate it highly enough.

Wow. Chelsea Handler hat sich wirklich selbst übertroffen. Ein gnadenlos ehrliches Buch, das einen weinen, lachen und über das Leben nachdenken lässt. Absolute Kaufempfehlung für das Audiobuch. Sie liest selbst und kann nicht immer ihre Emotionen unter Kontrolle halten. Herzzerreißend ehrlich.
