7 Audiobooks That Will Be Your Life Coach

Be inspired to be a new you with these uplifting and motivating titles.

Still Winning Listeners After All these Years

This is the undisputed great-granddaddy of business advice books—if you don’t count Machiavelli’s The Prince. Carnegie’s low-key fundamentals are still the cornerstones of business transactions and office culture. Basic behaviors such as remembering people’s names, listening well, smiling, dispensing criticism with kindness, the importance of empathy and sincerity, allowing your opposition to save face and, most of all, acting like a leader never go out of style. At a time when companies have to write “no a-holes” policies into their rules of conduct to remind people to not behave like ones, this old-ish sounding advice is shockingly apt. Start here, but then keep on listening. —Maggie, Audible Editor

Go Your Own Way

“Life is what you make it.” For Mike Lewis, who left a high-paying corporate job at the young age of 24 to become a professional squash player, these words could not be truer. Which, is not to say that accomplishments happen overnight. In the course of his own “jump,” Lewis spoke to over 40 highly qualified experts, everyone from Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg, to the designer of the Lyft logo, Ethan Eyler, and learned that fulfillment requires risk. When to Jump isn’t just a kick-ass collection of stories narrated by an impressive full cast, it’s also a road map to creating your own success. Change is intimidating, but these experts have handed us a parachute. Make the jump. —Rachael, Audible Editor

Let the Purge Begin

From the country that gave us extremely efficient furniture (IKEA) and impeccable pop (ABBA) comes the most strangely motivating idea ever: death cleaning. As morbid as it sounds, the Swedish custom of paring down your belongings (thus sparing your family this onerous job) will appeal to anyone who has faced that task—or even just moved. The macabre title adds a level of urgency compared to the slow Container Store joy of Marie Kondo’s method. And when Margareta Magnusson (in the hushed voice of Juliet Stevenson) tells you that having less makes you live more freely, you feel liberated already. Let the purge begin. —Maggie, Audible Editor

Start by Being Yourself

With her massively popular TED Talk and book (The Power of Vulnerability), along with endorsements from none other than Oprah, Brené Brown has established herself as a trusted voice in the world of self-development. But whatever preconceptions you may have about the genre formerly known as “self-help”—shouting “gurus” selling snake oil with life-changing claims—Brené Brown’s strength is in her authenticity. She doesn’t claim to be perfect. She’s sharply witty in her self-awareness. And she leverages her so-called flaws as tools for self-acceptance—and encourages listeners to do the same. The result: a sense of “true belonging” in humanity without sacrificing who you really are. —Courtney, Audible Editor

Listen to This, Then Listen to Yourself

If you’re looking to start 2018 off with a clearer mind and more positive light in your life, Michael A. Singer’s The Untethered Soul is a perfect place to start. I had never picked up a self-development book before so at first I was skeptical, but within the first fifteen minutes, I was all in. If you’re anything like me, you may give your inner voice too much control over what you do and how you act. Singer wants to let you know that you are only an observer to your thoughts. That inner voice is not you—you are so much more. This is really a must-listen for anyone who is looking for some emotional realignment. —Courtney, Audible Editor

Grit is Good

The neurobiologist and MacArthur Genius scholar argues, in study after study—whether it's West Point cadets, or gifted and talented high schoolers, or world-class athletes—the secret sauce of winning isn't immeasurable talent, but passion and perseverance. How to define this magical quality called grit, uncover it in yourself and mentor others to grittiness is the real meat of this book. Duckworth’s insights are a must-listen for parents and teachers eager to motivate kids, coaches training athletes, and companies who wish to level up a workforce. We shouldn't strive for greatness; we should aim for grit. That's the real medal that matters. —Maggie, Audible Editor
