    Please read. Listening to podcasts and audiobooks is no substitute. When you listen you’re thinking in a different way than when you’re reading and it’s important not to lose those cognitive capacities.

        Listening to audiobooks engages a different way of thinking than reading the written word does. Listening to audiobooks is not reading.

        That isn’t to say it’s not fun or interesting or a way to occupy your mind but it’s not the same as reading.
