As I read more and more articles about bettering ourselves and our businesses, the power of reading appears on every list. Reading is not only educational and entertaining; it promotes a healthy mind and better overall well-being (depending on your reading choices). Let's explore some reading options you can implement every day.
- Audiobooks
- Digital books
- Actual books
- Abbreviated books
Whether you like holding an actual book or reading a digital book, you can benefit from always having a book with you. Digital books are fantastic because you can take them anywhere without the hassle of carrying a paper book. Digital books make reading uncomplicated.
Audiobooks have changed our lives in that we can “read” more books and multi-task (if there’s such a thing). Audiobooks allow you to make the most of your time, whether you’re waiting for the train, driving to and from work, taking your lunch break, or relaxing at the end of the day. I especially enjoy digital books narrated by someone with a foreign accent.
An audiobook will help you “read” more each day.
