Illogical: Saying Yes to a Life Without Limits
From the New York Times bestselling author of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man, a call to break through our limits and say yes to a life of infinite possibility.
You may know Emmanuel Acho as the host of groundbreaking video series "Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man." Or as a New York Times bestselling author. Or as an Emmy-winning television broadcaster. Or as a former linebacker for two NFL franchises.
What you probably don't know is that Emmanuel defines his own life with just one word: Illogical.
Behind every triumph, every expression of his gifts, Acho has had to ignore what everyone around him called "logic": the astronomical odds against making it, the risks of continuing to dream bigger or differently. Instead of playing it safe, at every turn Acho has thrown conventional wisdom―logic―out the window. Now, in this revelatory book, he's empowering us all to do the same.
Whether it's creating the next groundbreaking startup, fighting for change as an activist, or committing to a personal passion, Illogical is the go-to book for all readers ready to become change-makers. With a step-by-step guide to finding our callings and shifting our mindsets, enlivened by stories from Acho's life and other illogical pioneers, and the Bible, Acho asks us to replace the limits set for us, and which we set for ourselves, with a world of possibility. Our horizons, he shows us, are endless.

Illogical is such an inspiring, thought provoking book! It pierced my spirit and really showed me the benefit of objective planning and how to life my life without limits! I would encourage everyone, young and old to pick up this book and take a deep dive within to be… illogical! It’s crazy how this book came out in a time in my life that I needed to hear all its content!

Emmanuel Acho is a very engaging speaker--I love listening to him. The content of this book probably warranted three stars (there are some good examples and anecdotes but also a lot of ideas that are pretty common in motivational books), but LISTENING to him as the narrator on the audio version bumped it up to four stars for me. The energy and enthusiasm in the narration definitely made it fun and inspiring for me beyond what was written on the pages. I'm not 100-percent sold on the idea of being "illogical" (he seemed to offer some pretty logical tips for how to become illogical, and the overall idea seemed more about being unlimited than illogical), but it was really was an enjoyable book to listen to. I listened to an audiobook provided by the publisher via #NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
