Show Notes
Jess Nahikian’s voice sounds assured, comfortable, and clear, but their real achievement is how well their performance connects with Rainesford Stauffer’s thoughtful perspectives and desire to help young people. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile’s Michele Cobb discuss this audiobook all about ambition, hustle, and the burden of the idea that we all need to get ahead. The audiobook is a calm but persistent plea for people to resist societal messages around hustle, and that we should never be satisfied with our accomplishments but always pushing for more. With the help of Nahikian’s comfortable speaking style and support of the author’s intentions, this audiobook is one that will make listeners take a hard look at overly ambitious lifestyles that don’t allow room for imagination, joy, or healthy relationships.
