Best Book for Someone Who Does Not Read The Art of Thinking Clearly (AudioBook) by Rolf Dobelli An inventive alternative to books for that reading-averse or busy special someone in your life, audiobooks are a great sub-

Available at just the touch of an airpod or Bluetooth speaker, audiobooks make for a great on-the-go listening option. You can browse books on platforms like Audible or on your Kindle.
