But we know books are full of useful information, and being part of society I think it is important that we continue to grow as person, and keep our mind running at full capacity, and books do that. Since I'm been able to find a way to enjoy books, and be able to retain what I've learned from these books, I have made this part of my daily routine while driving. Usually anytime I'm driving somewhere I have at least a 20 plus minute drive. So when my commute is 20 plus minutes I will either listen to a podcast or a book. A pro tip is turn the speed up to 2x (or faster if you app has the ability). I have found that I can still fully understand what is being said, and I get a book done twice as fast. It does take some getting used to and I did work my way up by starting at 1 then 1.25, 1.50 and so on.
One of my friends, Nick recommended a book to me a few months ago which was "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" by Carol Dweck. Now me being a cheap charlie, I try to rent books from the library instead of purchasing them. I will, however, purchase a book after borrowing it from the library if I plan on re-reading it. I do wish we could share audio books like we could hard copies. But I digress.
