When her website launched in 2013, Reynolds captured global media attention with numerous interview requests, from a widely shared New York Times interview and video, to a NPR radio interview, and an interview on CBS This Morning. The popularity of Get Your Shit Together has now led to her debut book WHAT MATTERS MOST: The Get Your Shit Together Guide to Wills, Money, Insurance, and Life’s “What-ifs” (Harper Wave) which draws on her intimate personal experience, expert advice, and unparalleled resources. Blending personal narrative with hard-working information, this book acts as your personal guide and expands, contextualizes, and illuminates challenges such as:
- Creating legal documents like a will and living will
- Updating (or finally getting) a life insurance policy
- Keeping track of online accounts and passwords
- Starting or growing an emergency fund
- Keeping secure, up-to-date records of personal information
Authoritative yet personal, grounded but irreverent, Reynolds’ voice carries readers through a tough subject with candor and compassion. Weaving personal story with hard-won wisdom, What Matters Most is the approachable, no-nonsense handbook we all need to living a life free of worry and “what ifs.” Chanel’s work has motivated millions of people worldwide to prepare for life’s major curveballs and offers the candid, approachable, profoundly practical guide we all need.
Praise for What Matters Most:
“There’s little point in worrying about a future death, but simple acts of planning can relieve your worries, protect and prepare you for what lies ahead, and give you a calmer and more peaceful today. These preparations are not only pragmatic acts, but sacred gifts to our future selves and to those we love who will survive us. What Matters Most is a reassuring, step-by-step guide to a better future in the midst of grief and loss.” – Katy Butler, author of Knocking on Heaven’s Door and The Art of Dying Well
“Reynolds took her own unthinkable tragedy and turned it into a rallying cry. In What Matter Most, she is your funny, irreverent friend, who’s here to show you tough love. The time for death denial and keeping your head in the sand is over.” – Caitlin Doughty, New York Times bestselling author of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes and From Here to Eternity
“Grief is a monster better confronted without a legal, financial and logistical mess left behind; Chanel’s wisdom is a gift to all future dead people wanting to lift some of the burden of loss off their surviving loved ones. What Matters Most offers you the chance to consider, and find, those critical answers.” – Rebecca Soffer, coauthor of Modern Loss: Candid Conversation About Grief. Beginners Welcome
