    Jan 1 2025
    Do you prefer the soothing voice of an audiobook or the tactile joy of a highlighter gliding over a favorite quote? In this episode, we pit audiobooks against traditional reading and uncover the strengths (and struggles) of each. Discover tips for maximizing your reading style, whether you’re a multitasker or a note-taking perfectionist. We’ll also tackle big questions: How do you retain more from books? How come a book can be loved by some and hated by others? And what are the best books to challenge yourself in the new year? Tune in for fresh insights and inspiration to kick-start your 2025 reading journey!
