Any particular aspects appeal to you the most?
Oh, and oops: Editing to add that I've actually read these books, haven't heard the audio books. Sorry. See below for the audio books I've liked along these lines: I've recently read, and recommend these: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...epression-cure https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...on-being-human https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...g-your-element https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/23492653-the-path https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/..._About_Running (mostly a memoir, but still very thoughtful) https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...ly-sh-t-moment Audio books? Haven't heard a lot, but did listen to both of Rachel Hollis's "Girl Wash Your Face" and Girl Stop Apologizing. She is not without flaw, and they're aimed at a younger demographic than mine. Still found them interesting. I read Demi Moore's Autobiography Inside out and found it very thoughtful. She narrates the audio book herself, could be interesting. (I've always liked her voice) In non-self-help terms, but still interesting, I loved Gabourey Sidibe's This is Just my Face, Try not to Stare. She does the audio book herself and is wonderful, brave and hilarious even if some of what she went through is kind of grim.

Also wondering about your particular interests. I don't use audiobooks but might be able to point you in the right direction from a professional perspective (I'm a psychologist ).
Annette, that's just it--I have all of these half-finished books b/c I don't have the time! I usually read something before bed, but that's just a few pages a night and goes slowly. I've been reading Thich Nhat Hanh's very short book How to Fight for months now b/c I keep putting it aside.

Just about finished listening to Know My Name by Chanel Miller. She writes her story really well. I can't help but think Brock Turner should be made to listen to the entire book, as well as the judge that let him off so easily. I also wonder if the Stanford admissions people who happen to read it might feel a little bit of "wow did we screw up" as they read.

Surprisingly I read three books this month. (Usually lucky if I finish one book a month ).
First I read “The Bookish Life of Nina Hill” by Abbi Waxman. It was sort of a light fun book. Next I read “Before We Were Yours” by Lisa Wingate which I thought was good and very heart wrenching since it’s based on true events. Then I read “The Girl With Seven Names” by Hyeonseo Lee....a true story based on her defection from North Korea which I found to be an incredible story. Currently reading “Firefly Lane” by Kristin Hannah. I’m not to far into it but it’s good so far. |
