I tried, but it wasn't working for me. The disjointed storytelling took it away from me.

It was cringe. I know people who talk like this, but in this case, it felt forced. Trying to hard. Pass.

Carry On: Reflections for a New Generation by John Lewis

hopeful informative inspiring lighthearted reflective fast-paced

The late John Lewis, having seen how awful humans can be, still had so much hope for us. He was a man who found strength in his faith, but did not push his faith on others. He found joy and hope in everything he did. That's a rarity indeed these days, and makes this well worth the read.
Having done the audio, the soothing voice of Don Cheadle delivers the message in a believable way. It's short, great for commuting, and wonderful. Take the 2 hours - you'll be glad you did.

This book was awesome! A fast read that cuts straight to the heart of it. And it helped me organize my thoughts to realize that I'm non-binary and have been for a long time. Saying it out loud felt amazing and so right!
