In 2019 I came up with a new goal: listening to three audiobooks per week. It was a tough and interesting challenge! Unfortunately, I didn’t achieve it, but it was fun to do and gained lots of knowledge and inspiration.

The main reason why I didn’t manage to read 150 books last year was that there were several interesting books that took more time to finish. I just didn’t want to pick small books just for the sake of (over)achieving my goal. So I had to make some trade-off. Below is a collection of audiobooks I’ve listened to.

Overview of completed audiobooks

Below, books are listed in arbitrary order. In total, I have finished 125 audiobooks.

What’s next?

I really enjoyed listening to so many books. It makes you more knowledgable and you get inspired/motivated. I think I’ve created a new habit for myself. For this year I’m planning to keep listening to books, I will try to finish 2 to 3 audiobooks every week. One of the things I’ve learned while listening is to never stop learning. Hence, I’m not planning to stop listening.
