Professional Troublemaker The Fear-Fighter Manual By Luvvie Ajayi Jones

 











Professional Troublemaker, The Fear-Fighter Manual

By Luvvie Ajayi Jones

 

This book came across my desk via two of my favorite people: Elizabeth Gilbert and Marie Forleo. 

And when two people who I admire so much are saying they are going to interview Luvvie or have interviewed her on Marie TV; my attention is captured.  Marie's segment is a funny engaging one with Luvvie about her new book.  And Elizabeth Gilbert's is coming up on April 8th on Instragram.

I got the book out of our local library.  What a stroke of luck!  And I read the whole book.  Now I'll let you know a little secret: reading a whole book is a big deal for me.  It's not that I can't read; though I have a bit of dyslexia that causes the letters to look a little backwards and switched and makes reading a bigger project for me.  I really enjoy audio books and spoken word.  This book is not there yet.  And I read it, as I rested on the couch, iced my broken wrist--more about that next week--and took time to chill.  


Friends, chilling in not my most popular mode of operation--I'd rather be dancing, hiking a trail, making art in my studio, writing, hanging with friends and family--you get the picture.  So when I'm reading, my body gets wiggly. Deep breath and read on.


Here are a few reasons you may want to read this book: find out more about this amazing human Luvvie Ajayi Jones, her life as a Nigerian born human who landed in the USA at 9 years old.  She shares about her amazing grandmother; her challenges: doing a Ted talk and how to go for the biggest passions of your life.  She is confident, loud, joyful, and a good troublemaker!

Go get her book!
