Congrats on making it to Day-2 of Lockdown, Bro!!
You’re doing great!
In this instalment of ‘Emerge a Better Man: The Essential Guide to Thriving in Lockdown’ we’re talking audio books.
Why audio books??
Here are THREE reasons why audio books are epic ‘quarantainment’ (Sorry, I couldn’t resist)
#1 Your other entertainment options are running out faster than your supply of cold beers.
There are only so many podcasts released every week, and the novelty of binge-watching Netflix and YouTube all day isn’t going to last much longer … what’s that? You’re already over it??
#2 Your brain is hungry, and your body is getting weaker by the minute Remember what a normal day used to be like? I know, it feels like a hundred years ago, already! Let me remind you: you moved around … maybe walked up stairs and hurried across the road (maybe even did more than that), and you thought about important stuff and solved interesting problems…
Anyway, your body and your brain really miss that stuff about you.
# 3 There’s stuff to get done! If you’re going to be exercising , cooking or cleaning (we’ll be talking about in upcoming instalments) then being able to listen on the go has major benefits – and those Taylor Swift songs are doing nothing for you, bro … nothing!
So without further delay, here’s the Manbox Crew’s list of Top 5 audio books to help you emerge a better man, when this crazy pandemic is finally over!
VUSI: Business & Life Lessons From a Black Dragon by Vusi Thembekwayo
CODIV-19 will soon be a thing of the past and it will be business as usual. Perhaps you’ve struggled to start your side hustle and also be efficient in your main job. This audiobook will help you balance your career and personal affairs. Isn’t that what being a BETTER MAN is all about?
The Laws of Human Nature by Robert Greene
The New York Times bestseller will probably make you embrace the fact that sometimes you just want to chill and do nothing. Being a better man isn’t merely about “studying the game” but also about conquering oneself.
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
It’s DAY 2 of lockdown. That’s the reality. It’s what happening right now. As much as it’d be awesome to go out and turn-up with your mates but the situation doesn’t allow. Power of Now will help you embrace each situation and a come out of it smelling Dolce & Gabbana
Born a Crime and Other Stories by Trevor Noah
The lockdown is starting to feel like a serious crime. We’re all seeking for an easy and fun entertainment. Even if you don’t really get Trevor Noah’s jokes — you’ll laugh hard and maybe cry a little.
Leader Eat Last by Simon Sinek
Are you a leader? Before the lockdown I was just a follower but right now I find myself making serious decisions like the series to binge on Netflix. Be a leader like me, wake up early and watch others eat last, ha! After 21 days you’ll be a proper gent and let others eat first.
If you do decided to add one (or more) of these audio books to your ‘‘quarantainment’ library, then let us know in the comments below.
