You can read while driving a car.
I love talk radio, but it doesn’t lift my spirits. It gets me perturbed. Music on the radio doesn’t engage my mind as I drive. I listen to books instead. I love books that teach me and help me get a better attitude every minute.
The best source of books to listen to may be your public library. Our main library has hundreds of books and college courses available on audio tape and CD. And all my favorites are available for free through interlibrary loans.
MIT has the vast majority of its courses available for free online. Yes, free. In most cases the lectures, notes, and everything you need to learn is available online and free.
The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. (Toffler)
Audible.com is a great place to get books on MP3 inexpensively. I use my phone. You can use any MP3 player. I like the quality, selection, and prices. Getting a monthly subscription is the way to go. And if I am reading a book on my Kindle, the audio version and the Kindle reader sync with each other.
The books on my listening list include: Man’s Search For Meaning (Frankl), Theodore Rex (Morris), Love is the Killer App (Sanders), Networking With Millionaires (Stanley), First Things First (Roger), The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (Covey), The One Minute Millionaire (Hansen), The Millionaire Mind (Thomas), and The Millionaire Next Door (Thomas). I didn’t realize I am so fixated on the word “millionaire”. These books have great “can do” themes.
Some books I love, but can’t get at Audible yet are The Power of Positive Thinking (Peale), How to Stop Worrying and Start Living (Carnegie), and Think and Grow Rich (Hill). And don’t forget to check out your library and interlibrary loans.
Something To Do Today
Engage your mind. Lift your spirits. Listen to books that get your spirit soaring while you drive or exercise. You’ll love it.

Feel the fear, and¼
Signs you will be laid off or fired
Creating reality – what to do with those dreams
