Audiobooks

I love audiobooks. It's a great way to consume books while having my eyes or hands busy, like walking, cooking or doing something else. They also allow you to connect to the content in a very unique way.

As such, I have a special list for books in specifically recommend in audio form. Here are some great listens that have stood out over the years.

  • The Art of Asking by Amanda Palmer
    • Read by the author, who is great at adding a layer of sentimentality to the book, which is already about surrendering to other people and trusting humanity.
  • This is Going to Hurt by Adam Kay
    • Read by the author, this book had me cackling all the way through. Amazing insights into the life of a doctor; the good, the bad, and the gory.
  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
    • From the same author as "The Martian", this is a fascinating story. Great for audio because you can hear the alien! This book explores its nature and how to trigger it. Whenever I feel stuck, I seek flow states to help me escape the stuckness (currently: kitesurfing)

Have one of your own? Recommend it to me here. Prefer to read with your eyes? My recommendations are here.
