I read books. I have more than 140 books in my Amazon audible library. I have picked some of the insightful ones which I think are worth reading. The advantage of using Amazon Audible is that I can use my idle time at home or when travelling to listen to these books. Some of these books I have listened to them more than ten times. Some of the books I have listened to more than 10 times are; Naked Statistics by Charles Wheelan, Thinking, fast and slow by Daniel Kahneman, Boards that excel by Josephy White, The Winning Attitude by John C Maxwell, The leadership Code by Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood, Start with Why by Simon Sinek and Why CEOs fail by David L Dotlichi and Peter C Cairo.
This booklist is a treasure. I have learnt bout leadership, analytics, managing people, business development, performance management and coaching, innovation, and presentation skills. The good thing about Amazon Audible is that once you buy the book and you use the Audible App, the books are yours for life. Audible allows you to share your library with a few limited friends and colleagues. I have a monthly subscription to Audible, I get roughly 3 free credits every month which I can use to buy any 3 books of my choice regardless of price. That is a big deal for me. This is how I have managed to grow my Audible library to more than 240 books to date. More important for those intending to build their libraries is that audible books are reasonably priced, unlike other book formats. You can get a book for as little as $2. There is no better bargain than that. Ejoy listening to these books and build your library.
