3 Audiobooks You Need: Volume 2
I'm an audiobook devotee.
Listening to audiobooks allows me to look at beautiful things as I absorb ideas, wisdom, and inspiration. If you also hate screens and love words – Here are three books you need to consume now.
Give and Take
By Adam Grant
Genre: Business Non-Fiction
Give and Take highlights what effective networking, collaboration, influence, negotiation, and leadership skills have in common.
For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. In Give and Take, Adam Grant, an award-winning researcher, and Wharton’s highest-rated professor, examines the surprising forces that shape why some people rise to the top of the success ladder while others sink to the bottom.
“It’s no wonder my friend Mina recommended this book. Mina is a leader who gives HARD. After listening to this book I feel honored to learn I do as well… I now believe GIVING has been the secret to my success.” – AP
Hold Me Tight
by Dr. Sue Johnson
Genre: Personal Growth in Relationships
Are you looking to enrich a healthy relationship, revitalize a tired one, or rescue one gone awry? We all want a lifetime of love, support, and companionship. But sometimes we need a little help.
The message of Hold Me Tight is simple: Forget about learning how to argue better, analyzing your early childhood, making grand romantic gestures, or experimenting with new sexual positions. Instead, get to the emotional underpinnings of your relationship by recognizing that you are emotionally attached to and dependent on your partner in much the same way that a child is on a parent for nurturing, soothing, and protection. Dr. Johnson teaches that the way to enhance or save a relationship is to be open, attuned, and responsive to each other and to reestablish emotional connection.

A Very Punchable Face
By Colin Jost
Genre: Memoir
If there’s one trait that makes someone well suited to comedy, it’s being able to take a punch—metaphorically and, occasionally, physically.
From growing up in a family of firefighters on Staten Island to commuting three hours a day to high school and “seeing the sights”, to attending Harvard while Facebook was created, Jost shares how he has navigated the world like a slightly smarter Forrest Gump.
Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy—with a face you can’t help but want to punch.
“Such a funny and joyful book. This book brings light through laughter.” – AP
