    About this audiobook

    The internationally bestselling self-empowerment book from influencer, rapper, and spoken word artist Humble the Poet, now available in a new edition with a new foreword by the author. Unlearn offers short, accessible, and counterintuitive lessons for reaching our full potential.

    Beloved for his sincerity, playfulness, and sage advice, globally famous rapper, spoken word artist, poet, blogger, and influencer Humble the Poet has traditionally shared his message of self-discovery, creativity, and empowerment with his fans through music and written word. That message has now been extended to this empowering book, offering insights and wisdom that challenge conventional thinking and help you tap into your best, most authentic self.

    Humble sees life with unique clarity. In Unlearn, he opens our eyes to our own lives, helping us to recognize the possibilities that await us and the challenges that prevent us from realizing our dreams. With his characteristic honesty and forthrightness, he helps us shed the problematic lessons we’ve learned throughout our lives that limit us, from sabotaging habits, to fixed mindsets, to past regrets, and relearn new, unconventional ways of moving through life. Among his 101 lessons are:

    • Fitting In Is a Pointless Activity
    • Don’t Trust Everything You Feel
    • Killing Expectations Births Happiness
    • Comparisons are Killer
    • Baby Steps Add Up
    • You Decide Your Worth

    Profound in its simplicity, Unlearn is the perfect invitation to a new beginning and to pursue a life of fulfillment.

    • 5/5
      Beautiful, interesting, surprisingly profund here and there. Worth you time reading or listening to.
    • 5/5
      Straight forward and to the point and exactly what people need to hear even if just to remind themselves to put a conscious thought about these uncommon common-sense ideas toward living a fulfilling and happy existence no matter your circumstances. I choose happiness most days but I was humbled in by the reminder that the other feelings I experience and my reactions and decisions based on those feelings are all choices too.
      Many thanks to the author your voice in your writing is very personable and honest/genuine and the realness is refreshing and appreciated!
    • 3/5
      This book should be read by anyone who is going through a mental struggle in life. Humble talks a lot about cutting negative people out of your life to better yourself with positivity. He also talks about changing your thought processes in order to look at every life decision with a different outlook.
      This book was good no denying that but it was overly repetitive. There were chapters that were titled differently but so similar and worded the same. I can not tell you how sick I was of hearing metaphors about painting and “Life is a canvas” I don’t know...give it a try.
    • 4/5
      Simple but needed, had a lot of things that stuck out to me. I really wish I got a hand on this in high school, because certain practices could have done then to make it easier now. Definitely gives the reader a sense of belonging and even though through out the book it’s just things you need to give up, not once did I feel attacked or felt judge. To me it was like “hey you do this and it’s negative and we all do it because we’re human just stop that sh!t for your own good”
    • 5/5
      Great stuff here. I really love the author's voice and speaking cadence.
    • 1/5
      It was a little too cliche for me and a bunch of phrases heard over a 100 times throughout life.
