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.
