@davidgoggins is not just a masterful author, he is an exceptional narrator too.
His hitting life experiences hit me, made me realize my privileges and left me with the biggest lesson - no one can hurt me, if I don't agree to be hurt!
In the world of constant distraction and instant gratification, @Chris_Bailey has written and narrated this masterpiece, building on a theme that I have long endorsed - Focus in the new IQ!
I have followed @simonsinek's work for several years now and his POV on leadership has helped me build mine. This book is a fascinating peek into the true leader's mindset.
@Robinsharma book about Julian, whose lawyer life wasn't yielding anything, is a story of many of us.
Wonderfully narrated by Robin himself, I consider this book as a great introduction on how to live life with joy!
When Ben Kingsley narrates a book, you are better off listening than reading.
And frankly, this was the only way I managed to "read" this book, after 3 unsuccessful attempts to read it.
This is a different kind of business book, for different kind of business owners. Reading it in 2009 changed my entire view of how I wanted to build businesses.
Remains my most gifted book. I remain indebted to @dhh and @jasonfried forever
In this beautifully narrated book by @gaurgopald, he shares what I would argue are simple approaches towards life that we all know of, but refuse to believe can lead to a happier life, just because they are so simple!
@JayShettyIW is a phenomenal creator, helping millions of people with his experiences as a monk. He brought all of it together in this brilliant book and then outdid the book with this narration!
While I wait for @naval to one day narrate this book (or chapters from it, reading this book and then listening to it made it so clear as to why I think Naval is one of the clearest thinkers out there.
While I am not a big fan of audio books, I do tend to pick the ones narrated by the authors themselves, or by powerful narrators, once I have read the book.
More often than not, it helps solidify my takeaways from the book.
I also feel that audiobooks are great for those who are not yet active readers and are getting warmed up to the idea of it.
So do consider these books, whose audio versions I have throughly enjoyed.
PS1: All these books are available on @audible_com (not a promoted tweet).
While the individual versions are expensive, the monthly subscription of Rs. 199/month is what I have. This gives you the book for free! Unreal value for money.
PS2: The links I have shared are Amazon affiliate links. If you buy anything, I earn an affiliate share of 3-5%.
This affiliate income is used to support the higher education of kids who can't afford it.
So far 31 kids have been helped for a total of 9.2 lakhs.

We designed our hiring process to check for culture fitment, attitude, curiosity.
Which meant looking at the resume much later. Instead starting with understand the person.
41 observations about life, in the week I turned 41.
A thread...
1. It is easy to respect people from a distance.
True respect is when you get to know them, and still respect them.
2. People assume that a verified Twitter profile is someone smart. Ironically, the blue tick says, "this person is EXACTLY who they claim they are"
3. Your guides, your mentors, your managers are not there to fix your mistakes.
They are there to guide you, so that you are eventually able to see your own mistakes.
4. Not every problem needs to be solved.
Some need to just be heard.
Just be felt.
Just be empathized with.
As a kid, I was terrified of the stage.
My first appearance was a disaster, in Class 7, when I went up on stage, blurted out what I had to recite, only to be told later that my lips were moving but no voice came out from my mouth!
