Publisher's summary

This program is read by the author.

The inspiring, influential senator and best-selling author mixes vivid personal stories with a passionate plea for political transformation.

Elizabeth Warren is a beacon for everyone who believes that real change can improve the lives of all Americans. Committed, fearless, and famously persistent, she brings her best game to every battle she wages.

In Persist, Warren writes about six perspectives that have influenced her life and advocacy. She’s a mother who learned from wrenching personal experience why child care is so essential. She’s a teacher who has known since grade school the value of a good and affordable education. She’s a planner who understands that every complex problem requires a comprehensive response. She’s a fighter who discovered the hard way that nobody gives up power willingly. She’s a learner who thinks, listens, and works to fight racism in America. And she’s a woman who has proven over and over that women are just as capable as men.

Candid and compelling, Persist is both a deeply personal audiobook and a powerful call to action. Elizabeth Warren - one of our nation’s most visionary leaders - will inspire everyone to believe that if we’re willing to fight for it, profound change is well within our reach.

Eye opening

Loved her personal stories. She used them very well to illustrate her missions & her plans on how to complete these new missions. This book opened my eyes on the politics involved in the running of the government. She's a good narrator.

Fight the good fight!

I have always liked Elizabeth Warren, and now I know her a little better. Now I really LIKE and admire Elizabeth Warren! Yes, I wanted Elizabeth to get the Democratic nomination, sorry Bernie, cause you are great too! But I was one of those folks who could adjust to someone, anyone, who would beat trump. This country was in deep trouble. I have full confidence that Elizabeth Warren will serve this country well in the Senate. The future is coming, and women will take their rightful place in leadership, and I have confidence that Elizabeth Warren will be right up there with the best and brightest. Persist!

Pinky Promises and Righteous Fights

Elizabeth Warren knows how to plan great things and her enthusiasm for success pervades this book. The poignant retelling of her campaigns, as well as the sharing of so many specific details of how she would like to truly make the United States a better place will inspire you.

Amazing. Woman Great Book

Senator Warren is an amazing individual. I feel bad she eas not selected as the VP candidate. She would have been terrific!

This memoir was a great read. While I cannot endorse all her ideas, there is much there that should be considered.

The heart and soul of our nation

This book I did not expect at this moment.

It is so poignant and powerful.

I laughed so hard at time I completely burst and sometimes I cried as I entered worlds I had never seen.

It is both strategic, tactical, analytical and even synthetic. Elizabeth Warren is a very brilliant successor to the Whiz Kids of the Kennedy administration. This book helped me a great deal both within and without.

Thank you Senator Warren for the sunshine that you have warmed my life with.

Elizabeth Warren’s case for the Presidency

In Persist, Elizabeth Warren lays out her story, her beliefs, her priorities and,most importantly, her plans for making this country a better place to live for most Americans. I think we missed our opportunity to have a leader who truly understands where we have gone wrong and how it must be set right, and who has the courage to persist. Thank you Elizabeth Warren for working on our behalf and inspiring others to follow in your footsteps. That gives me hope for our future.
