    About this audiobook

    The rapper, spoken word artist, poet, blogger, social media influencer, and international bestselling author of Unlearn delivers unorthodox lessons for shifting our perceptions and learning to create silver linings from our most difficult moments.

    Every one of us endures setbacks, disappointments, and failures that can incapacitate us. But we don’t have to let them. Instead, we can use these events as opportunities for growth. In Things No One Else Can Teach Us, Humble the Poet flips the conventional script for happiness and success, showing us how our most painful experiences can be our greatest teachers.

    Humble shares raw, honest stories from his own life—from his rocky start becoming a rapper to nearly going broke to being the victim of racial prejudice—to demonstrate how a change in mindset can radically alter our outlook. This shift in perspective—one that stops seeing the negative and starts seeing the lesson or positive spin—is what no one else can teach us. We must figure things out on our own, often through difficult and heartbreaking experiences.

    Humble inspires us to create these silver linings ourselves, preparing us to better handle any challenges that may arise. From a breakup to going broke to losing a loved one, our hardest moments can help us flourish, but onlyif we recognize and seize the opportunity. By doing so, we will become more self-aware, grateful, and empowered.

    Simple yet profound, Humble’s message is clear. While we can’t control the vagaries of life, we have the power to control how we react to them. Things No One Else Can Teach Us reminds us all that we have the power within us to transform the way we respond to everyday challenges and ultimately be our best selves.

      Excellent! His first book was fabulous too. It’s an easy listen. Unlike other self help books there’s no real “this is how”. Which I appreciate. We experience differently and he is simply sharing his.

      I like to listen to either this audiobook or Humble The Poets other audiobook, “Unlearn: 101 Simple Truths for a Better Life,” first thing in the morning. They remind me of things we all forget during the day to day- things that need to be constantly reminded. For instance, just how finite life really is. He reminds me of what matters. If you let it, these books CAN be the voice that encourages us to remember who we are/or be the fuel to become the person we’ve always been too scared to be. Thank you Humble The Poet. Thank you.

      It’s written with such a feeling it made me tear...as I read on comments prior downloading it, it’s a book that teach with experiences from a great human being, his words are raw. It’s worth reading and getting more humanize by it. Thanks Humblethepoet
