Free Motivational Books and Audiobooks
Filed Under Information, Resources | 1 Comment
What? Free motivational books and audiobooks?
Yes, There are places where you can get free motivation materials and programs, including audiobooks. No, I’m not going to give you links to bootleg copies of motivational audio programs. Sources of free motivational and educational materials are available that do not involve resorting to illegal downloads.
One of my favorite sources of free motivational books and audiobooks is the local library. Most libraries, even small ones, have at least a few books and audiobooks on subjects such as positive thinking, leadership, motivational programs, selling skills, and creative thinking. Audiobooks are usually available on cassette tape or CD. Even if your local library doesn’t have any copies of the materials you’re looking for, you can still request a search for those titles through what is known as the “inter-library loan” program. Sometimes there is a small charge for this service, but often is is free. Ask about fees at the start of this process to avoid any misunderstandings. If you are trying to build your own “success library”, be aware that motivational resources can be purchased cheaply at the book sales most libraries have periodically.
Legal sources of free motivational books and audio can be found on the internet. Some titles are in the public domain and can be downloaded free of charge. Material in this category can be outdated, but many times the underlying theories are time-tested and still very relevant. Sometimes free motivational books or audio will be given away as a promotion for a website or business. And with a bit of searching you may find some free podcasts or web-radio programs that will provide you with hours of entertainment and useful content. I will provide links to some of my favorites in a future post.
This doesn’t fit into the category free motivational books and audiobooks, but YouTube is also a vast repository of free motivational video. Check out Brian Tracy, Tony Robbins, Napoleon Hill, Zig Ziglar… they’re all on there. Search YouTube for your favorites.
If you don’t mind reading on a monitor or other device, here’s a link to the classic motivational book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. If you are not familiar with this timeless masterpiece, you should read it at least once. It is available for download in .pdf format, free of charge at this link : Think and Grow Rich. (downloads at this link are available in a variety of formats including amazon’s kindle device and iphone.pdf)
