Story
Jenifer Lewis keeps it real in this provocative and touching memoir by a Midwestern girl with a dream whose journey from poverty to Hollywood will move, shock, and inspire listeners. Told in the audacious voice her fans adore, Jenifer describes a road to fame made treacherous by dysfunction and undiagnosed mental illness, including a sex addiction. Yet, supported by loving friends and strengthened by "inner soldiers", Jenifer never stopped entertaining and creating.

Utterly captivated from stat to finish

The Assassination of Fred Hampton is a book book that should be bought/taught in homes and schools in Chicago, if not around the United States of America. Even today, the themes and tale of this book resonate so heavily that one might imagine that are stuck in the late 1960's during when Fred was alive and fighting.

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

This book was just amazing! What made it best was it came from Trevor Noah himself. So very authentic, so very relatable. I would totally recommend to anyone.

Story
When it comes to health, there is one criminally overlooked element: sleep. Good sleep helps you shed fat for good, stave off disease, stay productive, and improve virtually every function of your mind and body. That's what Shawn Stevenson learned when a degenerative bone disease crushed his dream of becoming a professional athlete. Like many of us, he gave up on his health and his body...until he decided there must be a better way.

Great listen, great advice. A lot of website/product plugs.

Really enjoyed this book. I really felt like I received a lot of positive insight. At times it felt like a promotional ad, but I guess that's to be expected. If you are looking for some advice on the benefits of sleep and techniques to get better sleep, this is a great resource.
