Great insight from a truly remarkable coach and person! Coach Dawn is one of the greatest, not just from a wins standpoint but from how she carries herself and what she instills in other.

Hands down the best Audible book I have listened to. I could literally pinpoint something in my life in every chapter of the book. Mel Robbins makes it clear that she’s not a Licensed Therapist, but I am, and I have already been telling clients to get the book and using her strategies in many of my sessions. Outstanding!!!

Bridging women's history, the history of the South, and African-American history, this audiobook makes a bold argument about the role of white women in American slavery. Historian Stephanie E. Jones-Rogers draws on a variety of sources to show that slave-owning women were sophisticated economic actors who directly engaged in and benefited from the South's slave market.

Very in depth history. Things that we knew but not with the amount of details. Sad that some are trying to erase history from our books. These are needed for us to continue to grow.

A journalist who many iconic athletes have trusted to tell their stories (of both triumph and disgrace), Jim has had unprecedented access to the people, places, and extraordinary events in the world of sports. Asking tough but fair questions, he has broken numerous stories, and landed squarely in the middle of others, from the Ben Johnson and Barry Bonds steroid scandals, to Michael Jordan’s surprise retirement, to the off-the-court Kobe/Shaq feud which led to their on-the-court break up, to being part of the live broadcast for 22 Super Bowls.

Story
In this groundbreaking history of the modern American metropolis, Richard Rothstein explodes the myth that America's cities came to be racially divided through de facto segregation - that is, through individual prejudices, income differences, or the actions of private institutions like banks and real estate agencies. Rather, he incontrovertibly makes clear that it was de jure segregation - the laws and policy decisions passed by local, state, and federal governments - that actually promoted the discriminatory patterns that continue to this day.

Story
From Jackie Robinson to Muhammad Ali and Arthur Ashe, African American athletes have been at the center of modern culture, their on-the-field heroics admired and stratospheric earnings envied. But for all their money, fame, and achievement, says former New York Times columnist William C. Rhoden, Black athletes still find themselves on the periphery of true power in the multibillion-dollar industry their talent built. Provocative and controversial, Rhoden's Forty Million Dollar Slaves weaves a compelling narrative of Black athletes in the United States.

Story
America’s backstory is a whitewashed mythology implanted in our collective memory. It should come as no surprise that the dominant narrative of American history is blighted with errors and oversights—after all, history books were written by white men with their perspectives at the forefront. It could even be said that the devaluation and erasure of the Black experience is as American as apple pie. In Black AF History, Michael Harriot presents a more accurate version of American history.

Not sure that I liked the delivery much but the book was very insightful. I recommend the book to all. This is one of the few audible titles that I’d have rather read the actual book than heard the narration but it’s a really good and informative book.

Best Audiobook I’ve Heard
Reviewed: 12-06-23
This was a great, great story. It’s by far the best self help book but it’s so much more than that. The dialogue on each chapter with Goggins and the narrator makes it even better. Very few people a do what Goggins has done but the blueprint is here to not only achieve our goals, but to exceed them. Extremely well done.
