VI VED JO HVORDAN DET ER AT VÆRE MENNESKE er et enestående kig ind i hoved, hjertekule og hylster på en af Danmarks mest markante, nysgerrige og alsidige skuespillere. Et opgør med den gamle traver om et fag, hvis aktører er for nærige og hemmelighedsfulde til at give noget af sig selv. Det er en bog om at gøre brug af andres fortælling - de virkelige væsners såvel som de fiktives. En bog om at tage sig selv op til revision. En bog om rollerne og om livet indimellem. En bog om det, vi har til fælles: At være menneske og historiefortæller.

When he was overtaken by a jogger on a borrowed mountain bike, Jo knew it was time for drastic action. Welcome to the world of a man in his 60s and his new e-bike. His first injury occurred within one foot! Setting off for his first practice ride round a car park, he misjudged the width of the handlebars and scraped his hand on the cycle shop's stone wall.

Since its publication on September 30, 1868, Little Women has been one of America's favorite stories. While we now think of it as a girls' book, it was initially read by both boys and girls, men and women of all ages. Professor Anne Boyd Rioux, who read it in her 20s, tells us how Louisa May Alcott came to write the book and drew inspiration for her story from her own life. Rioux sees the novel's beating heart in its honest look at adolescence and its inspiring vision of young women's resilience and hope.

In Tides of Grief, Waves of Grace, Ashley Jo shares her raw and unfiltered memoir of surviving loss, addiction, heartbreak, and scandal and discovering the power of grace. From the outside, Ashley seemed like the picture of resilience: a Christian wife, mother, and executive leading a thriving team. But behind the polished surface, she was reeling from unimaginable pain—the death of her son, the collapse of her marriage, and the unraveling of her identity.

Nicolai Moltke-Leth fortæller i "Jo, du kan" så levende om livet som jægersoldat, at de små nakkehår rejser sig, og man føler kulden gennem sin skjorte, når han kaster sig ud fra 10 kilometers højde i håb om, at faldskærmen til sidst folder sig ud.

Og han fortæller om barndommen og om at være et søgende, mediterende ungt menneske, der altid vil prøve sig selv og sine grænser af.

Back in the 1960s, the Burke Family Singers were America's answer to Austria's von Trapp Family. Throughout that tumultuous decade, the fabric of the nation's life was of course torn by the war in Vietnam and the impassioned drive of the civil rights movement. It was against this churning backdrop that a large Rhode Island family - mother, father, and 10 children - set out on the first of what would prove a long series of coast-to-coast tours.
