What Are My Top 7 Audible Books To Help Your Self-Improvement in 2022 ?
There are tons of ways to help improve your life. Whether it be from diet, exercise, training, and spirituality. However an absolute game changer, for my self improvement, has been the introduction of books into my life. Due to the attention span of an gnat, I have never had the patience to sit down and read books. I pretty much received all of my training through visual content. Whether it be video or real life in person training. Given that, In 2017 I decided to run a half marathon. For the most part on my runs I would mainly listen to music. I needed something else to keep my racing mind busy while on these long runs. With this in mind, A friend suggested listening to audible books. That undeniably was an absolute pivotal time in my life. Surprisingly it accelerated my excitement to learn new things in a way no other form of content ever had. Therefore now I listen to an average of 20 books per year. Here are my 7 BEST AUDIBLE BOOKS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH IN 2022.

Coming in at # 5 in my BEST AUDIBLE BOOKS FOR PERSONAL GROWTH IN 2022.
Running long distances creates a lot of time think. Given that your thoughts can really be racing around in your own head. For instance, a lot of your thinking involves stressing about what you’ve done, what your not doing, and a lot of “what if” this happens. To explain, Steven Furtick, lead pastor at Elevation Church, walks you through on how to take control of your thoughts. In truth, God has given us the ability to choose the dialogue we believe and how we respond to it. Once we learn how, we can switch from lies to truth as deliberately as we can choose the Beatles over Miley Cyrus on satellite radio. Regardless of your faith, this listen will help get back control of your thoughts and get back to living with less stress.
