About this listen
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!!
“I’m a big admirer of the fire in Shannon Watts. Now she shares with all of us how we, too, can ignite our power and change the world.”—Maria Shriver
“This book is a gift for any woman whose life has come to feel like a checklist of tedious responsibilities, rather than a bright, flaming torch of divine power. Shannon Watts uses her experience, wisdom, and fierce intuition to model a new way of living for women—one that is rich with meaning, deep with empathy, and, yes, full of transformative fire.”—Elizabeth Gilbert, bestselling author of Eat Pray Love and Big Magic: Creative Living Beyond Fear
From the founder of Moms Demand Action, a guide to harnessing your potential, living without fear, and coming alive at any age.
Too many of us are living on autopilot. We believe we’re too old, too busy, or too inexperienced to go after what we really want. Shannon Watts has a message for you: Think again. If you are ready to stand tall in your greatness, Fired Up invites you to shatter your self-imposed limitations and unleash your potential so you can finally start living the life you deserve.
Since starting Moms Demand Action, the nation’s largest grassroots organization against gun violence, Watts has helped thousands of women step off the sidelines and into their power. What most women don't realize is that inside all of us is a spark waiting to be ignited. Your spark is the catalyst for your life’s meaning and joy. When nurtured, it has the potential to transform not only your life, but the world.
Whether you want to stand up for yourself at work, launch the business you always dreamed of, or leave a toxic relationship and reclaim your confidence, Fired Up shows you how to identify, light, and feed the fire inside you. As Watts says, "That’s not an indulgence—it’s a requirement for living the most authentic life possible, without regrets."

Story
Most parents understand that free, unstructured playtime is great for children’s development. What they may not know is that playful interaction with parents is also a powerful way for kids to cultivate healthy emotional development and resilience. Kids often want their parents to play with them, but many parents don’t know how to play or see it only as an (often boring) way to kill time. Playing with your kids doesn’t have to mean enrolling in countless parent-and-me classes or getting on all fours and making toy car sounds; the little daily moments together can make the most impact.

The right idea, invoked at the right time, can change our lives. Drawing from her long studies of happiness, and also from the challenges she’s faced herself, writer Gretchen Rubin has discovered the “Secrets of Adulthood” that can help us manage the complexities of life. To convey her conclusions, she turned to the aphorism—the ancient literary discipline that demands that a writer convey a large truth in a few words.

Lawyers don’t often admit this in mixed company, but Madiba Dennie wants to let you in on a secret: There's no one true way to interpret the Constitution. Americans saw just how subjective it can be when the Supreme Court denied basic bodily autonomy to millions of people in its Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, suggesting that our rights and liberties are frozen in a cherry-picked version of history. This is a line of constitutional interpretation called originalism—a framework that says we must be constrained by the meaning of the Constitution's text when it was written.

We’ve been taught that resilience is the secret to navigating life’s most difficult moments. According to New York Times bestselling author and organizational psychologist Dr. Tasha Eurich, there is just one problem with this assumption. Scientifically, resilience isn’t an unlimited resource, especially with the growing pressure, uncertainty, and chaos we’re experiencing today. But what if, instead of merely “bouncing back” from stressors and setbacks, we could harness them for forward growth?

Critic reviews
“Fired Up is full of inspiring, relatable stories from women Watts calls 'firestarters'—women who have dared to create a more authentic, meaningful life for themselves; a chosen life, not an inherited one. Best of all, Watts gives us the tools, outlining practical, manageable steps to 'light the match' or 'fan the flames' in our own lives. I want my sisters to read this book. I want my mother and her friends to read it. I want my daughter to have a copy waiting for her, too, so that she knows what’s possible for her and how to make it happen. Time to start some fires.”—Maggie Smith, New York Times bestselling author of You Could Make This Place Beautiful
“Part manifesto, part roadmap, Fired Up is for women ready to step into their power without fear or compromise—and there is no better teacher than Shannon Watts. With warmth, wisdom, and fierce encouragement, Shannon uses her own story and the stories of other trailblazing women to show us that it is never too late to chase the life we truly deserve.”—Gretchen Carlson, Acclaimed Journalist, Co-Founder Lift Our Voices, Female Empowerment Advocate, Best-Selling Author of Be Fierce
“This is the book I've been waiting for Shannon Watts to write: A clarifying guide to not only reconnecting to your pilot light, and the change you want to stand for in the world, but also a helpful resource for protecting that flame from all the factors that will try to put it out. Fired Up is an essential read.”—Elise Loehnen, author of the New York Times Bestseller On Our Best Behavior and host of Pulling the Thread podcast

Story
You can tell what a society values by who it labels as a genius. You can also tell who it excludes, who it enables, and what it is prepared to tolerate. In The Genius Myth, Helen Lewis unearths how this one word has shaped (and distorted) our ideas of success and achievement. Ultimately, argues Lewis, the modern idea of genius—a single preternaturally gifted individual, usually white and male, exempt from social niceties and sometimes even the law—has run its course.

Story
In the wake of a catastrophic two-year relationship, Melissa Febos decided to take a break: For three months she would abstain from dating, relationships, and sex. Her friends were amused. Did she really think three months was a long time? But to Febos, it was. Ever since her teens, she had been in one relationship after another with men and women. As she puts it, she could trace a “daisy chain of romances” from her adolescence to her midthirties. Finally, she would carve out time to focus on herself and examine the patterns that had produced her midlife disaster.
