Over the past year I’ve had the pleasure of reading and listening to a number of great books. Books that motivate and inspire and have changed my life for the better. I thought I would share my list with you today.
Most of these titles have been audio books that I have listened to while walking, driving, or just relaxing. The majority have been part of my MBA on the Run program. The thing that really sticks out about the whole experience is how much I have learned while doing mentally unproductive things such as driving or exercising.
Audio books that I have downloaded on my iPod just work well for me. I listen while going back and forth to work and while at lunch. It’s easy to jot down notes and you can easily stop or rewind the audio at any time. Over the next few months I will be reviewing these titles on my other blog, MBA on the Run.
I would like to encourage you to give audio books a try. You can buy the CD collections from Amazon or download the titles from iTunes. If you have an iPod or other Audio player you can take this learning experience wherever you go.
Enjoy…
