Commuting & Audiobooks

I have an hour commute each day and would like to listen to audiobooks on anything related to permaculture, homesteading, etc. Can you recommend books that are available as audiobooks?

I listen to a lot of podcasts (download at home, load onto a device) like permaculture voices, survival podcast, radical personal finance.

I did listen to a couple good audio books that my library had. The world without us was one. Don't remember the others though.

I've been looking for this type of audio book too but permaculture is kind of visual so not much is available in audio format.

1491: New Revelations of the Americas Before Columbus was good but only part 3 was permaculture-like.

There are many youtube videos that would work as good permaculture "audiobooks."

This is one, I think:

Download it and listen while commuting.

Ooh that's been on my reading list for a long time!

Also, I was able to "borrow" this from our public library via an online site.

I LOVE the Libby App, which is the free library app I use to listen to borrowed audiobooks. I haven’t used it much to listen to specific permaculture or homesteading books (only saw frugalwoods in my history.) As an aside, it also helps if you’re able to have library cards from various libraries.

However, books that I’ve listened to that I think are related to lifestyle changes I’ve wanted to make because I’m also interested in permaculture & homesteading have been…

About minimalism, debt freedom & reducing consumption:

Zero Waste Home by Bea Johnson
Project 333 by Courtney Carver
The Year of Less by Cait Flanders
The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey
Meet the Frugalwoods by Elizabeth Willard Thames

Health/Science/Lifestyle ones (that I haven’t finished yet):

Atomic Habits by James Clear
Why We Sleep by Matthew Walker
Breath by James Nelson

In one of the permies finance forums someone recommended Your Money or Your Life by Vicky Robin, so I’m waiting for that one.

I have ended up purchasing audiobooks I knew I’d be interested in revisiting in Apple Books and on audible when I couldn’t find them at the libraries.

I used to listen to some podcasts but I seem to get annoyed with all the off topic useless babble. If I only have a limited time to listen to something, it’s important to me that it’s meaningful.

Anyhoo, I hope these are helpful for someone out there.
