Book description
Do Better - An Audiobook Review
Rachel Ricketts' Do Better arrives as a sonic companion for anyone eager to transform the fight against white supremacy into an intimate, heart-centered practice. The narration is warm and steady, weaving Ricketts' own voice with guided meditations that feel like whispered confidences in a quiet room. Her delivery keeps listeners anchored, even when the subject matter turns heavy.
What sets this audiobook apart is its blend of theory and action. Ricketts does not merely explain the roots of systemic racism; she invites you to engage in soul-care rituals-breathwork, visualizations, reflective journaling-that turn awareness into tangible change. The pacing allows time for absorption; each segment ends with a brief pause, giving space to internalize the concepts before moving on.
The book's accolades echo through the audio: it was named one of the San Francisco Chronicle's 10 Books to Pick and featured by HelloGiggles, PopSugar, and Book Riot as essential reads for Black identity and history. Elizabeth Gilbert calls it "a clear, powerful, direct, wise, and extremely helpful treatise," while Iyanla Vanzant praises its bold possibility for healing. These endorsements translate well into the listening experience-each chapter feels like a guided conversation with an ally who is both knowledgeable and compassionate.
The structure-introduction, core principles, practical exercises, and concluding reflections-creates a natural flow that mirrors a therapeutic session. Listeners can use the audiobook in short bursts or as a full-length retreat; its modular nature makes it adaptable to daily routines or longer study sessions.
In sum, Do Better is more than an informative read; it's an immersive journey toward personal and collective transformation. The audiobook format amplifies Ricketts' call to "do the deep-and often uncomfortable-inner work," offering a comforting yet assertive soundtrack for those ready to commit to healing from within. If you're looking for a resource that blends scholarly insight with actionable mindfulness, this is an essential listen.
