While reading on the web and listening to podcasts are great ways to learn, if you want to learn something deeply then you should read or listen to a complete book.

I’m a huge believer in classical Liberal Education and the reason I recommend listening to these free audiobooks as much as you can is that they are portals into the minds of history’s most influential and inspiring geniuses, philosophers and truth seekers.

If you want to listen to brand new books in audiobook format then I recommend getting an audiobook subscription with either Audible (1 Month Free Trial then $14.95/month) or Scribd (60 Day Free Trial then $8.95/month) Most of the free audiobooks on this reading list are in the public domain because they are over 50 years old. Listening to audiobooks is fun and easy and you can enjoy on your iPhone or Android anytime and anywhere you go. Why Listen To Audiobooks On Your Smartphone? I recommend setting aside at least 20 minutes a day to go for a walk and listen to one of the free audiobooks on this reading list. This led me to set a more realistic goal of listening to a few audiobooks a month, which is a learning goal I am able to achieve. Then I discovered how easy it is to listen to audiobooks on my iPhone while I’m commuting, working out and walking outside. That’s why I turn to audiobooks, which I can easily listen to when I’m on the go using my iPhone.įor most of my life, I have tried to complete a book a week and failed. I love to learn but I don’t have enough time to sit and read all the interesting books I’m always adding to my reading list.
