Based on the NPR® series of the same name, this second collection of This I Believe essays will again gather approximately eighty essayists—ranging from famous to previously unknown—completing the thought that begins the audiobook’s title. The result will be another stirring and provocative trip inside the minds and hearts of a diverse group of people whose beliefs—and the remarkably varied way in which they choose to express them—reveal the American spirit at its best.

Jay Allison, the host of This I Believe, is an independent broadcast journalist. His work airs on NPR's All Things Considered and Morning Edition, PRI's This American Life, ABC News' Nightline, and other national programs.
