Who has time to read?

Who has time to read?
You do!

Our lives are busier than ever before in the history of humankind. We have more competing interests demanding our attention from all sides than at any other time in. Our complex, wired world has enabled any person or company willing to pay for advertising to shout in our faces almost every second of the day.

Almost all of that information is utterly useless to our intellectual development, yet the proponents and advocates of the information will argue otherwise. The success of advertising depends on how well they can get you to buy into what they are saying.

Ok, maybe sitting down with a good book seems a little sedate. For me, it seems like a waste of time. I could be doing so many other things with that time. But I know that reading is so important to my development. So what to do?

Audio books are the solution. There are so many activities that we do day after day that only require basic thought. Driving and listening to audio books is the single best way to multi task. Suddenly a commute to work doesn't have to be wasted time. With a good audio book, a road trip can become so much more valuable than the money it cost in gas to drive.

Walking or jogging for exercise while listening to audio books can also be a great way to learn without requiring any extra time. Even monotonous exercise can become fun if we are listening to something interesting. Basic chores around the house can become so much easier if we know our time is being used to educate our minds.
