Every Monday through Friday, AudioFile’s editors recommend the best in audiobook listening. We keep our daily episodes short and sweet, with audiobook clips to give you a sample of our featured listens.

Author and podcast Luvvie Ajayi Jones narrates her second manual for authentic living with flair, Professional Troublemaker. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss her straightforward approach and conversational style that will have listeners nodding along. According to Jones, to be a professional troublemaker is to have a clear sense of personal identity and the ability to act without fear. She guides listeners through the many common pitfalls of fear and how to combat them. Jones lovingly references her Yoruba heritage, especially her boisterous grandmother, as a source of wisdom and fearlessness. Read the full review of the audiobook on AudioFile’s website.
