INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the New York Times bestselling author of I'm Judging You, a hilarious and transformational book about how to tackle fear--that everlasting hater--and audaciously step into lives, careers, and legacies that go beyond even our wildest dreams

Luvvie Ajayi Jones is known for her trademark wit, warmth, and perpetual truth-telling. But even she's been challenged by the enemy of progress known as fear. She was once afraid to call herself a writer, and nearly skipped out on doing a TED talk that changed her life because of imposter syndrome. As she shares in Professional Troublemaker, she's not alone.

We're all afraid. We're afraid of asking for what we want because we're afraid of hearing "no." We're afraid of being different, of being too much or not enough. We're afraid of leaving behind the known for the unknown. But in order to do the things that will truly, meaningfully change our lives, we have to become professional troublemakers: people who are committed to not letting fear talk them out of the things they need to do or say to live free.

With humor and honesty, and guided by the influence of her professional troublemaking Nigerian grandmother, Funmilayo Faloyin, Luvvie walks us through what we must get right within ourselves before we can do the things that scare us; how to use our voice for a greater good; and how to put movement to the voice we've been silencing--because truth-telling is a muscle.

The point is not to be fearless, but to know we are afraid and charge forward regardless. It is to recognize that the things we must do are more significant than our fears. This book is about how to live boldly in spite of all the reasons we have to cower. Let's go!

Loved every chapter more than the next

I loved every chapter more than the next. Her humor and perspective changed the energy of my day. Highly recommend this book for her personal reflection and honest advice. Now I have to go back and get her first book!

INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This book was amazing. There are a billion things that I loved about it. And there is a very single thing I disliked. I very much disliked that this book wasn’t longer, because I need more!!! Seriously, I couldn’t say a bad thing about this book. It was easy to listen to. The authors voice brings her every word to life and gives it more meaning than simple sentences. A true testimony that provides shameless motivation to be a professional troublemaker. A truly enjoyable listen/read from beginning to end ( & then again..lol..on to my 2nd listen)

Well constructed and free, that it wasn’t judging but nudging. It’s like having a one-sided conversation with wisdom and character that is just inspiring.

INCREDIBLE!

I loved this book! I am keeping this book with me, and giving it out! Thank you LUVVIE!

Absolutely Love This Book!

Best book I've listened to! I'll listen to it again and more from this author. This is a must read for sure. So real, entertaining and inspiring!

Just what I needed

Luvvie provides the right motivation and examples of how she stopped letting fear hold her back. I loved every minute of listening to this book and I highly recommend it if you are struggling to overcome fear and believe in who you are supposed to be! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
