   All In: An Autobiography by Johnette Howard, Billie Jean King, Maryanne Vollers

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/361635 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/361635) to listen full audiobooks. Title: All In: An Autobiography Author: Johnette Howard, Billie Jean King, Maryanne Vollers Narrator: Billie Jean King Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 18 hours 6 minutes Release date: August 17, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.78 of Total 9 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: An inspiring and intimate self-portrait of the champion of equality that encompasses her brilliant tennis career, unwavering activism, and an ongoing commitment to fairness and social justice. In this spirited account, Billie Jean King details her life's journey to find her true self. She recounts her groundbreaking tennis career--six years as the top-ranked woman in the world, twenty Wimbledon championships, thirty-nine grand-slam titles, and her watershed defeat of Bobby Riggs in the famous 'Battle of the Sexes.' She poignantly recalls the cultural backdrop of those years and the profound impact on her worldview from the women's movement, the assassinations and anti-war protests of the 1960s, the civil rights movement, and, eventually, the LGBTQ+ rights movement. She describes the myriad challenges she's hurdled--entrenched sexism, an eating disorder, near financial peril after being outed--on her path to publicly and unequivocally acknowledging her sexual identity at the age of fifty-one. And she talks about how her life today remains one of indefatigable service. She offers insights and advice on leadership, business, activism, sports, politics, marriage equality, parenting, sexuality, and love. She shows how living honestly and openly has had a transformative effect on her relationships and happiness. Hers is the story of a pathbreaking feminist, a world-class athlete, and an indomitable spirit whose impact has transcended even her spectacular achievements in sports. *Includes a downloadable PDF of Appendices from the book

   How to Be Human: An Autistic Man's Guide to Life by Jory Fleming

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/356666 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/356666) to listen full audiobooks. Title: How to Be Human: An Autistic Man's Guide to Life Author: Jory Fleming Narrator: Lyric Winik, Jory Fleming Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 37 minutes Release date: April 20, 2021 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4 of Total 2 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: A “beautiful and astonishing” (Walter Isaacson, # 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Code Breaker) narrative that examines the many ways to be fully human, told by the first young adult with autism to attend Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. As a child, Jory Fleming was wracked by uncontrollable tantrums, had no tolerance for people, and couldn’t manage the outside world. Slightly more than a decade later, he was bound for England, selected to attend one of the world’s premier universities. How to Be Human is a “profound, thought-provoking” (Barry M. Pizant, PhD, author of Uniquely Human) exploration of life amid a world constructed for neurotypical brains when yours is not. But the miracle of this book is that instead of dwelling on Jory’s limitations, those who inhabit the neurotypical world will begin to better understand their own: they will contemplate what language cannot say, how linear thinking leads to dead ends, and how nefarious emotions can be, particularly when, in Jory’s words, they are “weaponized.” Through a series of deep, personal conversations with writer Lyric Winik, Jory makes a compelling case for logical empathy based on rational thought, asks why we tolerate friends who see us as a means to an end, and explains why he believes personality is a choice. Most movingly, he discusses how, after many hardships, he maintains a deep, abiding faith: “With people, I don’t understand what goes in and what comes out, and how to relate,” he says. “But I can always reconnect with my relationship with my Creator.” Join Jory and Lyric as they examine what it means to be human and ultimately how each of us might become a better one. Jory asks us to consider: Who has value? What is a disability? And how do we correct the imbalances we see in the world? How to Be Human shows us the ways a beautifully different mind can express the very best of our shared humanity.

   Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park by Conor Knighton

   Please visit https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/355143 (https://thebookvoice.com/podcasts/1/audiobook/355143) to listen full audiobooks. Title: Leave Only Footprints: My Acadia-to-Zion Journey Through Every National Park Author: Conor Knighton Narrator: Conor Knighton Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 10 hours 18 minutes Release date: April 7, 2020 Ratings: Ratings of Book: 4.45 of Total 33 Ratings of Narrator: 5 of Total 5 Genres: Memoirs Publisher's Summary: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightful sampler plate of our national parks, written with charisma and erudition.”—Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe From CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America's National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY OUTSIDE When Conor Knighton set off to explore America's 'best idea,' he worried the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion.   In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he's waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you're not likely to find in any guidebook. Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together—and that tie us to nature—and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology.   Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks' past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.
