Good stuff, so far! We'll see if the middle matches the beginning…
Reviews and Comments
Nonfiction audio is my main thing. Autobiographies, parenting, science, social issues, and some business or anything educational.
I consider nonfiction to be a healthier and more useful view of the world than the news.
I have a few Mastodon accounts, like @travisfw@fosstodon.org

Travis F W commented on Attention Span by Gloria Mark
Just 3% in and I can tell this is a significant work. Mark's book is about #HCI. Everyone is a cyborg today: we live life in tandem with ubiquitous silicon-based processes. (My words) We need to be aware of what is happening to ourselves, so everyone should read this. But if you are in HCI, #psychology, #sociology, #business, or #management, this knowledge will directly inform your work.

Travis F W started reading Parenting Beyond Power by Jen Lumanlan
WRT intergenerational trauma, and the imperative for our species to survive the century, this book marks a critical paradigm shift our culture must undergo. Personally, I start at chapter 2.

Travis F W started reading Making Great Relationships by Rick Hanson
This is on my #somnambulistic list. Puts my kids to sleep with basic wisdom in a gentle, pleasant voice at 0.7 speed. (Audio book, of course.) I am sure it would work for anybody.
