Summary
“An insightful memoir that uncovers unique stories about matters of the heart.” (Essence)
The inspiring New York Times best seller from Common - the Grammy Award, Academy Award, and Golden Globe-winning musician, actor, and activist - explores how love and mindfulness can build communities and allow you to take better control of your life through actions and words.
Common believes that the phrase “let love have the last word” is not just a declaration; it is a statement of purpose, a daily promise. Love is the most powerful force on the planet, and ultimately, the way you love determines who you are and how you experience life.
Touching on God, self-love, partners, children, family, and community, Common explores the core tenets of love to help us understand what it means to receive and, most important, to give love. He moves from the personal - writing about his daughter, to whom he wants to be a better father - to the universal, where he observes that our society has become fractured under issues of race and politics. He knows there's no quick remedy for all of the hurt in the world, but love - for yourself and for others - is where the healing begins.
In his first public reveal, Common also shares a deeply personal experience of childhood molestation that he is now confronting...and forgiving.
Courageous, insightful, brave, and characteristically authentic, Let Love Have the Last Word shares Common’s own unique and personal stories of the people and experiences that have led to a greater understanding of love and all it has to offer. It is a powerful call to action for a new generation of open hearts and minds, one that is sure to resonate for years to come.

Perfect reflection for this time - Pandemic 2020
I enjoyed listening to this book. It was such a joy to hear a man be so vulnerable, to share so much of himself, with such strength. I valued the opening affirmations to each chapter, and the music too.

Pure Excellence
This is by far the best book I’ve listened to. It’s open, honest and relatable. I gained so much wisdom and clarity amongst many other wonderful things. It’s definitely a book that will be re read time and time again. Rashid’s voice is such a delight to listen to. Extremely soothing and calming. Thank you Rashid for sharing your love with us.

Magic!
Always had an abundant respect for Common as was the first Rapper to make me aware and love conscious Hip Hop. Had the honour of meeting him 3 years ago, and having listened to this Audiobook the respect never waivers.
it is a very open honest and thought provoking look into one of the most private people in the industry and some of the topics really resonated with me on a personal level. I loved the fact that he challenges the stigma of counselling as the black community (being from a black household myself) can sometimes think negatively about therapy. But this breaks down the barriers and shows the unequivocally positive outcomes it can have, whilst not forcing it upon you. Common has one of those voices you can really engage with and I found it hard to out this down. One of my best Purchases on Audible. Thank you!

Great book
Wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised and would recommend. I feel as if the book requires a part 2.
