"Douglas Adams at the BBC: A Celebration of the Author's Life and Work" by Douglas Adams - audiobook review

I mildly enjoyed this audiobook. It's an A-Z compilation of Douglas Adams's appearances on BBC radio and TV and a biography of his professional life. It is narrated by Simon Jones (the voice of Arthur Dent in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). The bits I found most interesting were the clips from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Future, a radio series about the future of technology that was broadcast in 2000, the year before Adams died.

"101 Essays That Will Change The Way You Think" by Brianna Wiest - audiobook review

I quite enjoyed this book. I think it has changed the way I think. Some of the same thoughts are sprinkled repeatedly throughout the essays, so it is a little repetitive. I also sometimes lost track of what essay I was listening to in this audiobook version narrated by Abby Craden (who stands in plausibly for the author's voice). Each chapter is numbered but then also some chapters are numbered lists of ideas. There were three chapters in particular that resonated with me: chapter 9: 20 Signs You're Doing Better Than You Think You Are; chapter 13: 101 Things More Worth Thinking About Than Whatever is Consuming You; and chapter 55: Why You're Struggling in Your Relationships Based on Your Attachment Style. They'd be good to return to in times of crisis or when you're feeling low. The philosophies in this book feel modern, positive, feminine, mindful, and of my generation.
