About this listen

This program is read by the author.

From the New York Times best-selling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, a call to break through our limits and say yes to a life of infinite possibility.

You may know Emmanuel Acho as the host of groundbreaking video series “Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man”. Or as a New York Times best-selling author. Or as an Emmy-winning television broadcaster. Or as a former linebacker for two NFL franchises.

What you probably don’t know is that Emmanuel defines his own life with just one word: illogical.

Behind every triumph, every expression of his gifts, Acho has had to ignore what everyone around him called “logic”: the astronomical odds against making it, the risks of continuing to dream bigger or differently. Instead of playing it safe, at every turn Acho has thrown conventional wisdom—logic—out the window. Now, in this revelatory book, he’s empowering us all to do the same.

Whether it’s creating the next groundbreaking start-up, fighting for change as an activist, or committing to a personal passion, Illogical is the go-to audiobook for all listeners ready to become change-makers. With a step-by-step guide to finding our callings and shifting our mindsets, enlivened by stories from Acho’s life and other illogical pioneers, Acho asks us to replace the limits set for us, and those we set for ourselves, with a world of possibility. Our horizons, he shows us, are endless.

Critic Reviews

2022, Barnes and Noble Best New Books of the Year: Long-listed

All stars
Most relevant  
His experience reminds you to reach for the stars, it's just a bit light on researched examples. He's very likeable and an amazing communicator, and I loved uncomfortable conversations because it was in the moment and remains so, so relevant.

A great lived experience

The book is easy to listen to and Emmanuel Acho does a great job at narrating. However, there's nothing groundbreaking or new in the book. It's one of many self-help books that can be inspirational but in the end, don't actually teach you anything you don't know yet.

Easy listen, but nothing new
