About this listen

Read by the author, Cynthia Erivo.

It is never too late to build the life you’re seeking. Part-memoir, part-inspirational manual for better living, Simply More by Cynthia Erivo is for anyone seeking greater harmony and fulfilment in their lives.

Cynthia Erivo learned the music to Wicked a decade before she needed it, not knowing that those same lyrics would change her life. Ten years later, she performed those songs on a world stage, showing us that there is always time to keep discovering ourselves, and that the journey of becoming is not a finite one.

In Simply More, through a series of powerful, personal vignettes, Cynthia reflects on the ways that she has grown as an actor and a person, shares the lessons she’s learned over years of performing, and reminds us how we are capable of so much more than we think.

In this profoundly honest and moving memoir, Cynthia draws from her experiences running marathons, both real and metaphorical, on stage and on screen, to show how each challenge can help us. Through personal anecdotes, lessons and advice, she urges readers to lean into the wisdom of their bodies and 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.

Editorial Review

Simply authentic
Cynthia Erivo doesn’t need to try hard to convince us that she achieves a level of sacred, spiritual connection with her listeners every time she performs. That fact has long been evident in the audiobooks space, just as it is in the world of musical theatre. And her new memoir is no exception. In under four hours Erivo tells the story of how she learned to thrive as her most authentic self, translating it into a collection of helpful affirmations that serves as a grounding reminder for anyone who needs to take a deep breath during this busy time of year. —Haley H., Audible Editor

Critic reviews

Inspiring
All stars
Most relevant
I love Cynthia Erivo anyway, but this book really added to it. Hearing some of her personal stories is great, but I particularly loved how she asks the reader how that situation or solution that may apply to them - and that really anything is possible with the right attitude. Plus, her voice is like silk to listening is a pleasure.

I’m a big Cynthia Erivo fan and this book is nicely read by her but it’s a bit short on details. It is written as a set of lessons Erivo has learned and written as advice for life. There’s lots of inspiring moments but it did leave me wanting a bit more.

Good but quite short
