Hi Jen, that’s what I miss when listening to an audio book – being able to flick through and go back and look at things!

Hi, Ella. I prefer the old fashioned way and always go with a physical, paper copy of the book. I love to mark and highlight the key findings so I can find them easily when returning to the book again. The screen in Kindle gives me a headache and as my natural learning preference is visual, I get easily distracted listening to audiobooks.

Hi Izabela, I’m the same way, so many of my books have ”dog ears” in them! I don’t mind listening to audio books but I definitely don’t take away as much from them than physically reading!

As others, I use all forms depending on the book. I realised with non-fiction books, I consume more if I listen (life long practise of Tsundoku). I generally take information better this way – depending on the book, I may also buy a paper version for highlighting/note taking in pencil. For fiction, I’ve grown up with hard copy paper books, however, lockdown changed this as I went for more frequent walks (I don’t listen to anything when I run!) – I added fiction into liste…

Booked and I’ve read it twice! While I recognise so much of myself in there, I’m struggling to really get hold of any concrete steps. to improve – maybe this is a form of self-sabotage in itself? Hoping that the discussion might help.

I cannot wait to bring this into the discussion tomorrow! Thank you for sharing so honestly.

Thanks for the tag Ella Bernie I will be there on the 26th!
I listened to this during an afternoon walk down the seafront on Audible. It’s a short read, In a sense I’m still processing it. I think for me it’s a reminder of other principals and lessons, as opposed to anything ground breaking.
I enjoyed it, but found it (at least on first listen) more entertaining than actionable.

Love that you brought the the book to the seafront with you, and that you found some entertainment and some reminders. Looking forward to discussing how you’ve been processing the reminders over the past week.

Oh I don’t think I could pick. I always have different books on the go on Kindle, audible and physical copies!
I’m currently listening to Will Smith’s autobiography because he reads it himself (and sings and raps too). It does take away from podcast time though. My Kindle app is great when I have unexpected time to read – I can just pull it out and start reading. BUT for me nothing beats the sensory experience of reading a physical book. I tend to reserve that for old…
