Updated: Jan 13, 2021




A book in general is one of the most valuable assets you can own. I've never been a huge fan of reading, so thankfully there are audiobooks. They allow me to multi-task while learning on the fly. I solely use Audible and this article features the most financially and entrepreneurial influential audiobooks on the entire platform, written by some of the world's wealthiest individuals. I've listened to all of these recently, start to finish, and a few of them have motivated me so much that I've gone on to make some larger investments.
