Things No One Else Can Teach Us

What if you could look at life’s hardest moments with a different perspective? In his bestseller Unlearn, rapper, spoken word artist, blogger, social media influencer and former school teacher Humble the Poet offered digestible advice for getting rid of problematic mindsets and relearning new, unconventional ways of moving through life. In Untitled, he once again flips the conventional script for happiness and success, this time showing us how our hardest moments can be our greatest teachers. Humble uses raw, honest stories from his own life to reveal how a change in mindset can allow us to see all things—particularly the most difficult—as an opportunity for growth. This shift in perspective—one that stops seeing the negative and starts seeing the lesson or positive spin—is the “magic” we all possess to take control of our lives, we just don’t often embrace it. Humble the Poet empowers and equips us to create these silver linings in our own lives, priming us to better handle future challenges. From a breakup to going broke to losing a loved one, our hardest and most mundane moments can become our greatest opportunities to grow. Our task is to realize that opportunity, and in the end we become more self-aware, grateful, and empowered. In his trademark style, Humble the Poet gives readers a peek behind the curtain into his own challenges and self-sabotaging ruts that he transformed into teaching moments. From his rocky start becoming a rapper to nearly going broke to being the victim of racial prejudice, he uses real stories from his life to make his lessons approachable. As simple as it is eye-opening, the book reminds us all that we have a magic within which allows us to transform the way we respond to everyday challenges and ultimately be our best selves.
