Fair enough. I missed that requirement. Personally, I wouldn't be able to listen to most audiobooks while working, but I guess it depends on what kind of work. If it's mindless work like washing dishes or driving, no problem.

Emergency Skin is also really good, but its a short-story.
Project Hail Mary is my #1 fav audiobook, hands down. Just don't look up anything about it beforehand, because spoilers would really ruin it. All you need to know its about a scientist on a spaceship who has a very important mission.
Not all Amish view technology as entirely something against their religion. Peter Santenello has a bunch of great videos where he interviews Amish people and understands their culture. This is a good one on that topic: https://youtu.be/EgY1SVXiBrU?si=E2zTNOhQxm6Qcgff
Whoa, this works on Android too. I had no idea you could do that! Thanks for the tip!
Look up to the skies and see
Psychopaths exist across cultures and ethnic groups and at an estimated frequency of about 1 percent of the population for males and 0.3–0.7 percent for females. Some researchers challenge these numbers, citing bias toward male manifestations in diagnostic instruments and methods.

HOW ARE YOU HOLDING UP? BECAUSE I'M A POTATO
Grain bowl. Mix one or more from each of these categories into a bowl:
- Some sort of grain (white rice, brown rice, quinoa, barley, buckwheat, farro, etc)
- Some sort of legume or protein (lentils, beans, peas, chickpeas, tofu, etc)
- Greens (kale, spinach, lettuce, etc)
- Other veggies (carrots, beets, onion, peppers, tomatoes, okra, etc)
- Sauce (salad dressing, hummus, bbq, red pepper sauce, miso dressing sauce)
Most of these ingredients are dirt cheap, and packed with nutrients and fiber and other goodness.
Or public transit improves, actually freeing up space on the road
My opinion:
Trucks used pragmatically for farming or legit hauling stuff is perfectly fine.
Cars used in true rural areas are also fine, because by definition, they haven't been developed yet, so there's pretty much no other way to get there.
But in populated areas (not just "cities" but also suburbs and other areas that are not truly rural and extremely spread out), spaces should be designed for walkability, and have good mass transit options. If a neighborhood is being built, put a small grocery store right next to it, so all those people can get groceries without driving. And put a bus stop near it, so they can get to other areas of town they actually need to go.
Cars aren't going away entirely. They serve a specific purpose. But they're overused.
I'll check them out. I just started the bobiverse books, which are also similar and have the same narrator.
