Summary of Life Will Be The Death of Me… And You Too 

4.6 . 2848 reviews

Short summary

Sometimes, we wonder how we’ve become so lazy. We dedicate the little tasks we have to other people, thereby getting lost in the selfishness that usually accompanies affluence. This state of living is what happened to Chelsea Handler, a well-to-do TV host. Through this summary, we get to understand how our hidden emotions can get the best of us. Chelsea Handler is a writer, comedian, producer, TV host, activist, and the author of five consecutive New York Times bestsellers. She hosted the late-night talk show, Chelsea Lately, on the E! network from 2007 to 2014, and released a documentary series, Chelsea Does, on Netflix in January 2016. In 2016 and 2017, Handler hosted the talk show, Chelsea, on Netflix. “Far too many people are looking for the right person, instead of trying to be the right person.” ~ Gloria Steinem

We need to give back to society as much as it gives us

Listen the first key point
00:00
00:00
We all belong to our society, but more importantly, our society belongs to us. The majority of us do not realize that the way we treat our society is the way it treats us in return. When we view our environment negatively, we’ll always struggle to do anything notable. This same thing applies to our lives. When we fail to see the good in people, it becomes quite difficult for us to do anything good for them.

Our existence is not separated from our environment. Society determines a lot of things in our lives, most especially who we grow up to be. Our lives revolve around what we make of our societies, which is why we must take responsibility.
When we give back to society, we build a life that will sustain us for a long time.
Giving back to society involves loving people, creating good memories, celebrating the lives of loved ones — alive or dead — and accepting reality.

In this summary, through the story of Chelsea Handler, we’ll find out why it’s important to view life from different angles, and the dangers of living selfishly.
second key point

Living a comfortable life is not all there is to life

There was a time when being famous and having tremendous success and money was what drove Chelsea to want more, but soon she found herself exhausted and ashamed by the meaninglessness of it all. At the age of forty-two, she had no kids, no husband, and no responsibilities — just a TV show on Netflix and whatever else she felt like doing. She felt she wasn’t trapped, stuck, or dependent on anyone else, and that she was free to be herself. Most of us subscribe to this same lifestyle, thinking we’ve got it all figured out, but we don’t.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
