Listen to more challenging content. I can only listen to dense, information rich texts, anything else feels like a waste of time.

- copperx 7y agoI've never found such books as audiobooks. Care to share a few?
- heurist 7y agoThe selection is limited but they're around. Most recently I've listened to Robert Greene, Joseph Campbell, Walter Isaacson, Jan Swalford, Peter Frankopan, among others. My favorite in the last year was "The Rise and Fall of American Growth" by Robert J Gordon. There are a lot of classic philosophy texts as well, Seneca, Plato, etc. And various useful books on marketing and how to sell, since that's a skill I've been working on. One of the ways I find books is to think of something I'm interested in then go to https://hackernewsbooks.com/ https://hackernewsbooks.com/ and search for recommendations. The best books I've read recently were ones I can across on HN. If I find recommendations then I'll go on audible and search for an audiobook version. I don't always find them, maybe 1/10 are available, but it's been a useful tactic in general.
