If you are listening and not reading you may only hear what you understand verses looking things up, cross referencing and thinking about a word, sentence or paragraph.

I'm not a fan of audio books. When I read I do research. When I read the Fiat Standard I looked up Dr. Weston Price and found his book on nutrition. I read that, too. If you only listen to books you may miss a lot of material.

I do recommend Brian Tracy's Goals in audio and book form. Definitely will pump you up in business, sales and life strategy.

I'm with you there. A book is to be read, it's not an MP3 (Yes, I know they can be). The only audio book I've listened to is Soft War by Lowery as it was just way way to heavy going to read!

Maybe you are right. Audio books still new thing to me

I love the BitStand; that said. it is refreshing to read someone’s (Lyn’s) analysis from a lens that is more systems/process oriented, and where there is less tangible disdain for the current system and prior history. Not to downplay any atrocity or event, but Lyn is doing great work as it is convincing the next wave of people without having to resort to a fear tactic.

I like this point on audiobooks as well…
