Summary
Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) is a writer, comedian, producer, TV host, activist, and the author of five consecutive New York Times bestsellers -- her latest is Life Will Be the Death of Me...And You Too!
What We Discuss with Chelsea Handler:- Finding the line between mood enhancement and paranoia-generating abuse when it comes to cannabis.
- How a DUI at age 21 led to Chelsea's entry into the world of standup comedy, and what she was really trying to get from her search for attention.
- As someone who's never been afraid to quit a job she's grown tired of doing, what really matters to Chelsea?
- What's the difference between authentic generosity and generosity that just feeds the giver's ego?
- Why is Chelsea writing books, doing standup comedy, and working on television projects when she was sure she'd burned out on doing all of these things not long ago?
- And much more...
