Emma Grede's Start with yourself: A new vision for work & life launched in April.
Like a lot of people, I've been seeing Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life by Emma Grede absolutely everywhere on social media lately. Every time it pops up on my feed, I save it to my wish list and tell myself I'll order a copy. The problem is I don’t actually have the time to actually sit down and read a physical book.
Between work, family commitments, endless emails, and trying to keep on top of everything else, the thought of reading a book cover to cover feels unrealistic. That's why the Audible version immediately caught my attention. I can listen while walking, tidying the house, or even during a workout. Suddenly, fitting a bestselling book into my schedule doesn't seem so impossible.
Emma Grede is the co-founder and CEO of Good American, the denim brand she launched with Khloé Kardashian, and a founding partner of SKIMS alongside Kim Kardashian. She's also the host of the Aspire podcast.


According to the book's description, Start With Yourself is all about taking responsibility for your own growth, ambitions, and future. Rather than offering generic motivational advice, Grede shares the mindset and practical frameworks that helped her build multiple successful businesses while raising a family.
This is exactly the kind of book I want to consume, but realistically, I know I'm much more likely to finish it if I listen rather than read. Audiobooks have completely changed the way I get through non-fiction. Instead of adding another task to my never-ending to-do list, I can learn while doing things I'm already doing.
If, like me, you've been meaning to listen to Start With Yourself, Amazon is currently offering customers Audible for only £0.99 per month for the first 3 months.After that, the Standard plan auto-renews at £5.99 per month. You can cancel monthly, and the offer runs until 15 July 2026.
For less than the price of a coffee each month, it feels like an easy way to finally get around to listening to the books that have been sitting on my ever-growing "must read" list. Start With Yourself is at the top of mine.
