The Average Commuter Spends 1 Hour Per Day Traveling
That's 5 hours a week, 260 hours a year. Imagine using even half of that time to "read" books. You could finish 20-30 books a year just during your commute.
Why Audio Reading Works
Unlike physical reading, audio reading doesn't require your hands or eyes. You can listen while driving, riding the subway, walking, cycling, cooking, exercising, or doing housework.
