About this listen

This is a very powerful audiobook.

It offers inspiration to those of us who want to speak out at a time when many of us feel the world isn't listening.

Jess Phillips - no stranger to speaking truth to power herself - will help you dig deep and get organised, finding the courage and the tools you need to speak up and make a difference. As well as offering inspiration and hope from her own experiences Jess talks to the accidental heroes who have been brave enough to risk everything, become whistle-blowers and successfully fight back.

Entertaining, empowering and uncompromising, Truth to Power is the audiobook we all need to help us call time on the seemingly unstoppable tide of bullshit in our lives.

Critic reviews

"There's nobody else at Westminster quite like Jess Phillips. She is fearless and funny, riotous and rebellious, maverick and mischievous." (The Times)

"Jess Phillips is a heroine." (J.K. Rowling)

Could easily run out of superlatives here, because this book is just brilliant. One does not need to agree or even have a view on Jess’s politics to get a lot from this book. It’s so helpful and encourages readers not to lie down and be trampled on, complaining that “oh there’s nothing I can do” because there is and it’s all here. All power to you Ms Phillips. Oh and by the way, the narrator is damn good too, well she would be wouldn’t she!

There is something very engaging by the unpretentious style and vernacular used by Jess Phillips and there is a passion for fighting injustice that runs through the book. But somehow it lacked a little depth and practical application and I was left wanting more of a positive vision for the future and some direction.....

interesting, inspiring but a bit short.

Love how open, honest and frank this book was and listening to Jess speak. This is something I’d love my daughter to listen to when she older!

Jess has taught me that my passion for challenging the status quo where it is in error is not enough. She offers practical advice that turns passion into possibility and makes us realise that whilst speaking truth to power can be exhausting, frustrating and just downright discouraging, there are things we can do to help us keep going and maybe, just maybe, we can make a difference. So don't say there's nothing we can do as individuals, listen to or read this book and realise that there is. Thanks Jess, you're a star.
