The audible app legit turned my life around...

I was an avid reader as a child/young adult, then life happens. Fast forward to a couple years ago...swore that I would never like audiobooks, but I travel for work and need an outlet for my mind on the road. At least 12 books a year for 3 years running. Very happy with the results and how it has helped me keep my mind from going astray. I do a mix of personal development and fiction. 1 on, 1 off. Big James Bond novel guy. But whatever floats your boat! Happy reading!

If you spend much time in your vehicle, recommend audio books.
EDGEMAN • 01/02/25 06:02 PM ET
Is an audio book considered “reading”? Opinions differ**

It does in my book.
