Simply More

The inspirational New York Times bestselling memoir, a perfect gift for the Wicked fan in your life!

De: Cynthia Erivo

Narrado por: Cynthia Erivo

Read by the author, Cynthia Erivo.

It is never too late to build the life you’re seeking. Part-memoir, part-inspirational manual for better living, Simply More by Cynthia Erivo is for anyone seeking greater harmony and fulfilment in their lives.

Cynthia Erivo learned the music to Wicked a decade before she needed it, not knowing that those same lyrics would change her life. Ten years later, she performed those songs on a world stage, showing us that there is always time to keep discovering ourselves, and that the journey of becoming is not a finite one.

In Simply More, through a series of powerful, personal vignettes, Cynthia reflects on the ways that she has grown as an actor and a person, shares the lessons she’s learned over years of performing, and reminds us how we are capable of so much more than we think.

In this profoundly honest and moving memoir, Cynthia draws from her experiences running marathons, both real and metaphorical, on stage and on screen, to show how each challenge can help us. Through personal anecdotes, lessons and advice, she urges readers to lean into the wisdom of their bodies and to understand and strive for a physical and mental balance. Because when we chase our deepest desires, each small step leads us closer to where we want to go.

Inspiring

Wow! A must listen and amazing voice.

Wow so glad I listened to this before the end of the year and will listen again in the new year. I like the style it is written in, feels like a glimpse into a diary. I appreciate her even more. I am also told I am too much, and I am going to not let that stop me. Thank you Cynthia.

beautiful book

Captivating & divine

Cynthia’s luminescent spirit shines through snapshot storytelling in a way that is a delight to the spirit and ear. There is something really special about the author’s voice telling her own story.

Phenomenal

Simply More came to me at exactly the right moment — during a period when life felt heavy, uncertain, and overwhelming. What makes this book so phenomenal isn’t just Cynthia Erivo’s talent as a storyteller, but her ability to speak directly to the parts of you that feel tired, doubting, or diminished. Reading it felt less like consuming a book and more like being gently held and reminded of who you are.

Erivo writes with extraordinary honesty and tenderness. She doesn’t posture or preach; she shares. Her reflections on identity, resilience, self-worth, and embracing your fullness landed deeply for me during a time when I needed reassurance that I didn’t have to shrink to survive. The message — that being “too much” is often simply being more — felt radical and deeply comforting.

What moved me most was how human the book is. Cynthia doesn’t gloss over pain or growth; she honours both. Her vulnerability gave me permission to sit with my own struggles without shame, and her strength reminded me that difficult chapters don’t define the whole story. There were moments where I had to pause, reread passages, and let them settle — not because they were complex, but because they were true.

During a difficult time, Simply More became a quiet source of motivation. It encouraged me to keep going, to trust myself, and to believe that healing and expansion can coexist with hardship. It reminded me that I don’t need to earn my worth by being smaller, quieter, or easier — I can show up fully, honestly, and unapologetically.

This book is powerful, affirming, and beautifully written. It’s for anyone who has ever felt like they were too intense, too emotional, too ambitious, or simply too much. Cynthia Erivo doesn’t ask you to change — she invites you to embrace who you already are. And sometimes, that invitation is exactly what saves you.
