Morning, noon and night, here are great titles to help you through the workday
Spending the entire day in sweatpants, hunched over the dining room table or reclining on the couch has its charm. But the monotony of at-home workdays can leave us lacking a feeling of motivation, stimulation and centredness.
Where’s that morning motivation as you high-five your way through a buzzing office? Where’s that mid-day calm as you take your lunch break on a picnic bench overlooking the park? Where’s that after-work relief as you kick off your shoes and settle into an evening of self-guided fun where your living room isn’t also your office?
Audible can help. For the morning, we have titles that encourage you to be a more a productive, creative you – even if your bed still feels awfully enticing. For the middle of the day, we have meditative audiobooks that help you slow things down, get out of your own head and push away distractions. And when it's time to punch the clock, we've got your entertainment covered too!
Start the Day by Exploring Dale Carnegie’s Classic Guide to Getting Ahead
At a certain point – usually after you smack the snooze button once or twice – it’s time to wake up and greet the day. And the best way to do that is with a timeless motivational title.
Dale Carnegie’s classic guide to business success is itself a success story, having helped shape people’s lives and careers for over 80 years. Despite its maturity, the advice in here doesn’t sound the least bit outdated (there’s no “how to rotary dial your boss” type of advice.) Rather, it’s an ever-relevant and universal guide that gets to the heart of interpersonal relations.
Culled from a business education course Carnegie delivered in New York, the landmark guide offers listeners the following:
• 6 tried-and-tested ways to make people like you
• 12 ways to win people over to your way of thinking
• 9 ways to change others without risking their resentment
If you’ve ever wanted to wade into a Zoom meeting but didn’t for fear of rocking the boat, Carnegie has words for you. And for more that can help you take charge at work, explore the link.
Before You Punch in, Get a Pep Talk from Rachel Hollis

The author of the wildly popular was originally going to call her follow-up audiobook Sorry, Not Sorry, which should give you some indication of the unapologetic, in-your-face brand of motivation you’ll find within. Settling on , Hollis implores you to set aside the self-doubt and take ownership of your life and dreams.
