About this listen

Performed by the acclaimed actor Michael B. Jordan (The Wire, Fantastic Four, Creed), Upstanders is a stirring tribute to the ordinary people who make a remarkable difference in big cities and small towns across the country.

For more than a year, Howard Schultz, the chairman and former CEO of Starbucks, and former Washington Post senior correspondent and associate editor Rajiv Chandrasekaran searched the country for even more of America's unsung heroes, as a follow-up to Upstanders' first season. Now you'll hear the stories and voices of the people they found - local citizens who are demonstrating unbelievable courage and inspiring a better America at a time when we need these heroes more than ever.

From the Dallas chef who's staffing his restaurant with former juvenile offenders, to the Missoula, Montana mother who opened her community's hearts and doors to refugees, to the Seattle firefighter who's helping to destigmatize post-traumatic stress among our nation's first responders - the 11 individuals featured in this second volume of Upstanders embody the American spirit and much of what's missing from today's national debate over how to salvage America's soul.

Through their passion for humanity, courage to lead, and willingness to act, the Upstanders we celebrate here remind us that we all have the power to create positive change in our communities and beyond.

Better as a podcast

The stories and content are interesting but lack the impact that the serialized podcast did for season 1. If audible is the format for future seasons, they should consider multiple narrators or include the individuals from the stories.

From beginning to end contentment covers you

For a moment everything isn't so bad, worth the time, great on long road trips and soothing for the mind.

Not so good

This book gives an exceptionally essential clarification! I slanted such immense quantities of effective things from this audio-book but need to re-correction.

Inspiring

All the stories are very inspiring and make me want to do more good in the world. People who face the difficult situation and find a way to make it better. It starts small and gradually get bigger or people have big picture and start small and local and expand and influence more people.

Interesting

Interesting. Different choice of narrator. Usually books seem to strive for a more polished voice. I liked the stories; they made me think.

Good stories. Narration could be better.

Compelling, well-rendered stories about overcoming adversity and other real issues. My only suggestion is that the narration could be better. Michael B. Jordan's delivery, while clear and understandable, is very flat and monotonous. No excitement. No emotion. Just a drone-like, hazy narration.
