The Best Audiobooks That Will Change Your Life
THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS. PLEASE READ MY DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFO.
I love books, really, I buy a new one almost every two weeks … Thank you, Amazon for making it so easy to discover amazing new publications that I will love.
But there’s one catch.
I find it really hard to read non-fiction books. I can read a sci-fi novel in one day (yes this happened several times, with Divergent, Fallen and Throne of Glass ) but non-fiction, well I just fall asleep while reading after one paragraph …
So, I started to listen to Audiobooks instead first for non-fiction and now also for fictions to help me sleep at night, but this is another story 😉
And I have a very nice surprise for you!

Thanks very much for sharing this list! It’s good to see ‘The Power of Habit’ on here as it’s an audiobook that I’d 100% recommend. The theory that it’s built the book is built on is hugely inspiring and motivational – that you can achieve anything you want as long as you develop the right habits.
Thanks again,
Jonathan
