What in the World?!

A Southern Woman's Guide to Laughing at Life's Unexpected Curveballs and Beautiful Blessings

De: Leanne Morgan

Narrado por: Leanne Morgan

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is the inspirational story that we all need. No one makes me laugh harder than Leanne Morgan!”—Reese Witherspoon

The beloved comedy sensation packs a hilarious punch with real talk about what it’s like to be a woman today—from rebelling against the latest diet trends to dealing with perimenopausal mean girls and attending rock concerts in middle age.

For a long time, no one pulling the strings in the comedy world thought that a woman over fifty from rural Tennessee could make it in the industry. But Leanne Morgan has defied the odds, reaching millions with her musings on hormones, low-rise britches, Weight Watchers, and her opposites-attract relationship with her husband, Chuck.

In her charming southern accent, Morgan brings listeners inside her quest to find her voice after spending many years trying to figure out what that meant. Along the way, we learn how she grew up as a butcher’s daughter, landed a husband with health insurance, honed her stand-up technique selling jewelry at house parties, embraced the glories of aging, and surrendered to the comfort of wearing big flesh-toned panties.

Equal parts warm and hilarious, this book is a must-listen by one of comedy’s rising stars—reminding you that every time life leaves you asking “What in the world?!,” something good is bound to come out of it someday.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Leanne Morgan’s What in the World?! made me laugh, cry, relate . . . all of it! I saw myself in her stories of growing up on a farm and having big dreams, and not having any idea how to make them come true. And she tells every story with great humor and a big heart. I was cheering for her all along as I watched her faith and determination take her to the top of her game. I adore Leanne now more than I already did! I loved every word.”—Trisha Yearwood

“It is a scientific fact that everyone loves Leanne Morgan, and for good reason. She is warm, inviting, kind, and very funny. Somehow, What in the World?! captures and delivers all of Leanne’s charms. This book is exactly what we need today. I could hear her say every word I read.”—Jim Gaffigan

Relatable

Leanne is so relatable. We are all going through things and her life mirrors so much. Everything is going to be all right is a new mantra along with What is the World.

Could not stop listening!

Love her stories and her honesty. I enjoy her stand up - my sisters and I saw her in Springfield Illinois- I was anxious for the book and it did not disappoint!

Genuine, relatable, and well done.

Leanne’s genuine spirit shows as she reads her story. I loved the audible version because it was her voice telling her story. One feels as though she is with her as she shares from her heart stories that anyone can relate to.

Like talking to my best friend

I laughed and giggled all the way through. Listening with my AirPods (something I’m just learning to use) I would catch my poor neglected husband rolling his eyes from across the room as I would sometimes cackle out loud.
I felt like I was haven’t a visit with an old best friend the whole time I listened. We laughed a little , cried a little (momma chapter took me out! 🥴), built each other up and cheered each other on! Thank you for the beautiful gift of this lovely book. 🥰 Lorissa.

Laughed out loud!

Loved your honesty, humor, and connection to us all. Thanks Leanne for lifting us up!

leanne you are hilarious!

I love how genuine you are. You make me laugh out loud! I try not to drink while listening because I will spit my drink into the windshield. I laughed so hard at one point I couldn't get my breath! thank you

She’s just THE BEST!!!

I couldn’t stop listening! She just makes me feel good and my sides hurts from laughing so much. I’m 45 years old so not super old but not super young either- she’s hilarious no matter what age you are! I bought the book for my mom’s birthday gift and I can’t wait to give it to her!

Must Listen!

This was an absolute joy to listen to. Thank you Leanne Morgan for sharing your story so openly and with heavy doses of humor. Leanne says the things most people wouldn’t but are dying to hear someone else say.
As I listened, I laughed out loud throughout the book and wanted so badly to turn to my left or right and have a friend listening and laughing with along with me. I have already shared it with my friends and family. I’m so glad that so many people will get to experience the light, love, and humor of Leanne Morgan.

I love Leanne!

She’s such an amazingly clean, but hilarious comedian and this book was nothing short of great! I felt like I was in her living room and she was sharing stories with me about her life! I wish it was longer.

Fun read!

Enjoyed everything about it! So much that I was sad it ended. Highly recommend. Will most definitely listen to it again.
