“Stop letting your value， your success， or even your greatness be determined by someone other than you。 Especially someone you don’t know。 Stop letting your beauty， your happiness， or your worth be dependent upon the convention of the time… Once you’ve realized that your standards are the only ones by which you should measure anything， then you can take full agency over your life。”*cue mic drop🎤*In this book， Acho uses several stories from his own life， the lives of celebrities and elite athlet “Stop letting your value， your success， or even your greatness be determined by someone other than you。 Especially someone you don’t know。 Stop letting your beauty， your happiness， or your worth be dependent upon the convention of the time… Once you’ve realized that your standards are the only ones by which you should measure anything， then you can take full agency over your life。”*cue mic drop🎤*In this book， Acho uses several stories from his own life， the lives of celebrities and elite athletes， and even figures from the Bible to prove his thesis。 He maintains that you have to play by your own rules in order to achieve your goals， even when society calls those rules illogical and tries to force you down the “logical” path。 “Logic limits， and you were meant to fly。”I loved this eARC audiobook so much， I had to run out and buy a copy of the gorgeous hardcover today at Target。 Read Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man last month and it was a 5⭐️ read for me just like this one！Acho does a phenomenal job narrating his own audiobooks。 It was a quick yet powerful listen。 “You don’t follow your calling because you’re qualified。 You qualify by following your calling。”Thanks to Macmillan audio and netgalley for an eARC audiobook in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

3。5 starsI probably would have given this book 4 stars， but I just read Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man last month， and this latest book feels like at least 25% was a repeat of content。 It also felt a lot like there's more ego involved。 It must be difficult to write a self-help/motivational manifesto and still sound humble。That said， Emmanuel Acho is a great narrator and storyteller。 I'm grateful for the early listening copy of Illogical via the NetGalley app。 3。5 starsI probably would have given this book 4 stars， but I just read Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man last month， and this latest book feels like at least 25% was a repeat of content。 It also felt a lot like there's more ego involved。 It must be difficult to write a self-help/motivational manifesto and still sound humble。That said， Emmanuel Acho is a great narrator and storyteller。 I'm grateful for the early listening copy of Illogical via the NetGalley app。 。。。more

“Take the time to find the right note。” Thank you to NetGalley for an early copy of the audiobook。 I love listening to Emmanuel Acho speak and he has important points in the book。 As a rule follower， he has me thinking about where I should think outside the box。 Really enjoyed this second book of his and plan to read any future books he writes。

This is book is a load of nonsense。 More of the same motivational advice with no actionable plans。

I don't read much non-fiction， but I like Emmanuel Acho， so I was interested to see what he had to say in this book。I can sum his whole point up in a few sentences。 Bumblebees， by laws of science and logic， cannot fly。 Bumblebees do not know they cannot fly， so they do it anyway。 Ignore logic and be like a bumblebee in your life pursuits。 Fly， bumblebee， fly。 The end。Kidding。 There is more to this book， including a lot of insight into what a hard worker Acho really is。 Success comes to those who I don't read much non-fiction， but I like Emmanuel Acho， so I was interested to see what he had to say in this book。I can sum his whole point up in a few sentences。 Bumblebees， by laws of science and logic， cannot fly。 Bumblebees do not know they cannot fly， so they do it anyway。 Ignore logic and be like a bumblebee in your life pursuits。 Fly， bumblebee， fly。 The end。Kidding。 There is more to this book， including a lot of insight into what a hard worker Acho really is。 Success comes to those who strive and work and run after it， no doubt。 He has worked and worked in his life to achieve all that he has。 But， ultimately， he is not preaching hard work， but encouraging people to think outside the box， to take risks， to not have limits on their thinking。There's not much ground breaking here， but it's short， easy to read， and uses stories and Biblical allegories to help prove points。 It's inspiring and has valuable insight。 It's a positive force， just like the man who wrote it。I liked it。 Thank you NetGalley for the ARC。 。。。more
