I have committed to listen to 50 audiobooks in 2021. I don't quite know why, it's a tall ask! However, I've listed the books below that I intend to listen to. I'll start out by saying that I'm a huge Harry Potter fan, and love the magic of the books. I don't think I can bring myself to listen to the audiobook, though depending on how it all goes, they may feature towards the end of the year.
Audiobooks
| Name | Week no. | Status | Score /5 | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Atomic Habits, James Clear | 1 | Finished | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | How small changes and habit stacking can turn your life around. Consistency is the key to success. Remaining consistent, and changing current habits to form good habits can help improve performance. |
Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki | 2 | Finished | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Robert explains the differences his friend's dad - Rich Dad - and his own dad - Poor Dad - and how their attitudes to wealth differed. He explains how to make money work for you. In short, avoid buying liabilities. and buy assets. |
The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy | 3 | Finished | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Changing one small thing each day can compound to have a huge effect. I'll be listening to this book again some time soon. It was, without a doubt, one of the top five audiobooks I've ever listened to - and tops almost all books I've ever read. |
Not a Life Coach, James Smith | 4 | Finished | ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | James Smith is known for his no bullshit approach to fitness. This audiobook sheds light on his no bullshit approach to life in general too, with lots of insight into the way his mind works. I have to say, I've learnt a lot from this guy in a short space of time. James and I know a lot of the same people, so it gives me even more reason to celebrate this man's success. |
Paul Mort Will Save Your Life, Paul Mort | 5 | Finished | ⭐️⭐️⭐️ | Paul Mort explains his former struggles, and how he came back from the brink of suicide. He goes on to give examples of how he has helped others transform their lived, as he did. The book felt repetitive and almost like a sales pitch. The one clear message from Paul is this: take responsibility for your own life. If not now, when will you? |
