Learn to live with the good humor, straight-talk, kindness, compassion and grit of the one-and-only Betty White.

With a television career spanning more than 80 years (the longest on record), she was one of America's most beloved entertainers, best known for her award-winning roles on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Golden Girls and Hot in Cleveland. She received eight Emmy Awards, three American Comedy Awards, three Screen Actors Guild Awards, a Grammy Award, and numerous Humanitarian Awards for her work with animals. She was a Television Hall of Fame Inductee as well as a Disney Legend. In 2018, her career was celebrated in a PBS documentary called Betty White: First Lady of Television and in 2019 she joined the cast of Pixar's Toy Story 4. As she approached her 100th birthday in January 2022, Betty continued to break new ground as an entertainer and grow in popularity.

Those achievements didn't come easy. In a career that spanned the whole of television history, she's had to exhibit a special mix of tenacity and kindness to overcome the obstacles in her path. This book helps readers address their own real-life challenges by examining how Betty would have done so with kindness, forthrightness and an abundance of good humor.

With references to her television and film work, as well as her devotion to animal welfare and other humanitarian causes, Everything I Need to Know I Learned from Betty White provides answers to the questions we all face with gentle wisdom and the occasional kick in the pants.
