ILLOGICAL Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits

Acho, a former NFL football player who is the son of Nigerian immigrants, was working as a sports commentator when George Floyd's murder inspired him to become a racial justice blogger and the author of the TV series and book UNCOMFORTABLE CONVERSATIONS WITH A BLACK MAN. Though he presents his latest audiobook with exaggerated enthusiasm, the strongest features of his performance are his warmth and belief in human determination. "You are exceptionally skilled at something!" he proclaims as he urges people to look beyond rational obstacles to their goals. His lively stories about improbable achievers and his own journey overcoming setbacks and rejections make this strategy sound inviting. It's advice that draws heavily from the traditional motivational playbook, but his audible faith in the human spirit makes it sound fresh and inspiring.
