The Power to Persist: 8 Simple Habits to Build Lifelong Resilience
Lamell J. McMorris · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Lamell J. McMorris (self-narrated)
66/100
👎 Skip It
McMorris brings real credibility from politics, business, and sports/entertainment, and hearing him narrate his own eight habits gives it an authentic, lived-in feel. It's solid and practical, if a little niche for anyone outside the business/leadership crowd, and there's no outside review to confirm how it lands broadly. A decent listen for the right audience, but it's a close call rather than a clear must-buy.
