How Audible Gave Me My Time Back (And Can Do the Same for You)

 How Audible Gave Me My Time Back (And Can Do the Same for You)

Let’s be honest—our days are full. Between work, errands, family, and that endless pile of laundry, the idea of sitting down to read a book feels like a luxury from another life.

That’s where Audible comes in. It doesn’t just help you read more—it helps you reclaim time you didn’t even know you had.

Books That Walk With You

What used to be “dead time” is now alive with insight, story, and learning. Commutes become classroom sessions. Grocery runs become audiobook adventures. Walking the dog becomes walking with John Michael Greer, AE Waite, or Marcus Aurelius.

With Audible, you don’t need to choose between staying informed and staying on schedule. You can do both—simultaneously.

Multitasking That Actually Works

Unlike screen time, listening lets you stay mentally engaged while physically productive. Here’s how people use Audible to layer value into their routines:

  • Driving to work = 30 minutes of personal growth

  • Cooking supper= 20 minutes of a new novel

  • Folding laundry = a chapter of philosophy or self-help

  • Walking = a guided meditation or motivational story

You don’t have to carve out time for books anymore—Audible fits into the cracks of your day.

From “I’ll Read It Someday” to “Just Finished It”

You know that stack of unread books on your nightstand? The ones you’ve been “meaning to get to”? With Audible, they actually get finished.

  • No more waiting for the right mood

  • No more forcing yourself to stay awake to read a page

  • No more guilt

Audible makes it effortless to keep up with your reading goals, even when your schedule says otherwise.

Better Use of Mental Bandwidth

Even when you're tired, burned out, or overstimulated, there's something soothing—and productive—about just listening.

Audible can help you:

  • Learn a new topic without pressure

  • Return to joy through storytelling

  • Stay mentally active during routine tasks

  • Practice mindfulness through sound

You're still growing, still absorbing, still connected.

The Bottom Line

Time is one of our most valuable resources—and Audible helps you use it better. Whether you're trying to read more, learn more, or just feel more connected during your daily routine, Audible transforms your time into something meaningful.

You don’t find time to read. You listen, and time finds you.

So the next time you say, “I don’t have time for books,”
remember—you do. You just need to press play.

Book Suggestion: Access to Western Esotericism by Antoine Faivre

Image
  Book Suggestion: Access to Western Esotericism by Antoine Faivre A Cartographer of the Occult Imagination Professor Antoine Faivre was a towering figure in the modern study of esotericism—a quiet architect of a once-unmapped domain. As a professor within the Religious Studies Section at the Sorbonne in Paris, he illuminated the often-overlooked pathways of the Western spiritual imagination: Christian Kabbalah, alchemical philosophy, theosophical currents, and more. Through his scholarship, the obscure became legible without losing its aura. Though he passed beyond the veil in 2021, his intellectual legacy endures—guiding those who, like him, seek to read the invisible footnotes written between the lines of history. To read Access to Western Esotericism is to enter not a doctrine but a discipline—a formal threshold into the study of the ineffable. Antoine Faivre does not posture as a guru or initiate; he stands, rather, as a scholar-mystagogue, mapping the contours of esoteric...

Why I recommend The Secret Teachings of All Ages by Manly P. Hall

Image
Manly P. Hall's Great Work - The Secret Teachings of All Ages (2024)  I often recommend this book to those looking for guidance on what they should read from the field. This is a classic. This is must have. This is not something you will understand in your first pass.  This is my 3rd copy of this great work. After the over-use of the previous two, I was gifted this Dover Edition of this classic. Given Hall's generous contributions to the field of esoteric literature, it felt appropriate to make this the first post on this Blog.  I approach  The Secret Teachings of All Ages not merely as a reader, but as one might approach a temple—stepping quietly, reverently, with the sense that something ancient stirs within its pages. This is no ordinary book. It is a grimoire of civilization’s symbolic strata, a philosophical reliquary where gods, glyphs, and geometries converge. Manly P. Hall, writing at just 27, delivers not a treatise but a testament—an offering to those who ...

Book Suggestion: Sane Occultism by Dion Fortune

  A Doctrine of Discipline for the Spiritual Practitioner Book Suggestion: Sane Occultism by Dion Fortune There is a peculiar clarity that arises when mysticism is married to discipline—when the pursuit of the unseen is tempered by ethical grounding and psychological lucidity. Sane Occultism , a lesser-known yet deeply resonant work by Dion Fortune, is just such a synthesis. It is not a book of arcane ritual or ecstatic revelation, but a manual of spiritual hygiene —a guide for those who would approach the occult not as escapism, but as a sacred science. Fortune, trained in psychology and steeped in the Western Mystery Tradition, writes here with the authority of both a practitioner and a guardian. Long before the proliferation of modern metaphysical sensationalism, she warned of its dangers—delusion, dissociation, ego inflation masked as inspiration. Sane Occultism is her call to sobriety in a field too often intoxicated with its own symbols. The book’s structure is direct, y...
