Sinopsis

A practical look at putting your life  together written by the founder of the internationally celebrated website Get  Your Shit Together and informed by the author’s personal experience after her  husband was killed in a biking accident. Part memoir, part hard-working  how-to guidebook, What Matters Most inspires readers to get their ‘affairs in order’  before the unthinkable (or inevitable) happens.            
On July 17, 2009, Chanel  Reynolds’s husband, José, was sideswiped by a van while cycling near their home  in Seattle. In the aftermath of her husband’s sudden death, Reynolds quickly  realized that she was left bewildered and underprepared for what happens next.  What was the password to his phone? Did they sign their wills? How much  insurance did they have? Could she afford the house? And what the hell was  probate court anyway? Simply put, when life went sideways she didn’t have her  shit together. 
As it turns out, most of us  don’t either. We’re too busy, in denial, overwhelmed, don’t know where to  start. We procrastinate or outright avoid having these difficult yet critical  conversations. 
Reynolds learned the hard way  that hoping for the best is not a plan, but you don’t have to. Drawing on her  first-hand experience, expert advice, and the unparalleled resources she’s  compiled from her popular website and checklists, Reynolds lends her,  friendly, human voice to help readers navigate and avoid much of confusion,  overwhelm, and uncertainty when ‘something happens’ and learn how to: 
• Create a will, living will,  and power of attorney documents   
• Update (or finally get) the  right life insurance policy   
• Start or grow an emergency  fund and prioritize your spending   
• Make a watertight emergency  and ‘What-If’ plan   
• Keep secure, up-to-date  records of personal information 
Authoritative yet intimate,  grounded but irreverent, Reynolds’s 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.”
