Simply More [electronic resource] : A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They're Too Much. Cynthia Erivo.

Erivo, Cynthia. (Author). Erivo, Cynthia. (Added Author).

Summary:

In this vulnerable and enlightening book of life lessons, globally renowned performer Cynthia Erivo draws from her singular experience to show us how to embrace being "too much" and to live up to the fullest iteration of ourselves. This program is read by the author. It is never too late to build the life you're seeking. Cynthia Erivo learned the music to Wicked a decade before she needed it, not knowing those same lyrics would change her life. Now she has performed those songs on the world stage, showing us there is always time to keep discovering ourselves. And to illustrate that it's often the parts of ourselves we are told to bury that make us shine. In a series of powerful, personal vignettes, Cynthia reflects on the ways she has grown as an actor and human and the practices she's learned over years of performing and reminds us all we are capable of so much more than we think. We all have hopes and dreams that we want to bring across the finish line. We all falter and take missteps. In this book, Cynthia draws from her experiences running marathons, both real and metaphorical, onstage and onscreen, to show how each challenge can help us. She urges listeners to lean into the wisdom of their bodies, to understand and strive for a physical and mental balance. Because when we chase our deepest desires, each small step leads us closer to where we want to go. "Cynthia Erivo is monumentally talented and impressive...her speaking voice is as mellifluous as her singing voice, and there are moments of genuine realness..." — Vulture "The Broadway star's singular talents make her an obviously superb narrator." — Booklist "With her performance skills and melodic voice, [Narrator Cynthia] Erivo captures listeners' attention and leaves them feeling inspired to be themselves. " — AudioFile A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
