by Adam Grant ; Read by Fred Sanders & Susan Denaker[Foreword] ‧ RELEASE DATE: Feb. 2, 2016
Calm conviction, thoughtful expression, and sincere emotion aptly describe Fred Sanders's narration of this work. As such, it fits squarely with Grant's message that a true original (in the workplace or the world) is not some rarified individual or whiz-bang wunderkind or even the loudest person in the room. An original is potentially anyone in the room. Everyone has the capacity for originality, once the concept of "originality" is clearly understood. Grant's theories are refreshingly grounded, logical, and actionable; Sanders reinforces them with his unaffected yet engaging delivery. Skip the belabored reading of Sandberg's foreword and head straight to the substance--of which there is plenty for the rank and file, executives, members of minorities, parents, and political/social activists.

The readers can't compensate for the unbearably pompous prose style of this extended parable about corporate politics and strategy.

by Elizabeth Chamblee Burch ; Read by Cassandra Campbell ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 13, 2026
The audiobook illuminates the misdeeds of malevolent marketers, sleazy lawyers, and unethical doctors.
Cassandra Campbell’s narration is a model of a nonfiction performance. Her reading of exposition is careful and convincing. She knows where to pause and how to move the action forward. Law professor Burch’s investigative report of the con men, grifters, and profiteers who took advantage of women who were harmed by vaginal mesh implant removal is deeply researched. The revelations of how these “professionals” colluded to scam these vulnerable women who experienced incontinence, pain, and emotional distress after their procedures is horrific. The patients whose mesh implants were removed often had no medical workups prior to surgeries and were charged egregious hidden fees. The text also exposes the legal system’s glacial pace.
