What Are Some Of The Greatest Audiobooks To Listen To While Walking?

[Dan Arnautu]

So instead of cardio I would like to maybe take an hour and walk more outside while listening to an audiobook.

Some of the greatest selections that I've listened to until now are:

• Total Recall by Arnold Scwarzenegger
• The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
• 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

Please don't recommend books that have exercises in them. That would defeat the whole purpose.

Can't wait to hear your favorite ones!

One of my favourite audiobooks that I'd recommend while walking is Waking Up by Sam Harris.

Sam Harris is a prominent atheist and neuroscientist, and this is his enlightenment journey. It's rated as a must-read book on Leo's book list under the heading of consciousness, enlightenment and spirituality, and I'd certainly agree with that. I was lucky enough to discover this book on my own a few years ago and have since listened to it several times, and have also read it a couple of times too.

This book won't teach you to meditate well, but it does explain enlightenment and how it works in a very scientific and rational way, while also dispelling many of the common myths about it. It's five chapters and a conclusion, so it won't take too long to get through. There are a couple of very small exercises in it, but in the overall context of the book, I don't think it's too important to complete these.

If you do choose to listen, hope you enjoy .

Hate to be a dull boy. But why not walk without distractions from your walking, seeing, feeling, smelling, hearing, tasting, the life you are walking through?

I often go for a bicycle ride to the headlands to see all the activities of the port, river, ocean, birds in the air, lizards on the rocks, the odd snake, dolphins, stingrays, and turtles. Whales are now starting to travel north up the coast; trawlers coming in and out of port; people saying hello as I pass. And I also see people walking with earplugs listening to something and completely oblivious with everything I just wrote about. It amazes me how much they actually miss experiencing. It is as if they fear being with their own thoughts about the world they walk through.

His agenda right now is not practicing mindfulness like you, its knowledge and wisdom.
