I tried Googling the best nonfiction audiobooks for a road trip and wasn’t able to find a nice list. So I made one. 💁♀️ Here are six great nonfiction audiobooks for a road trip!
⛳️ Range by David Epstein
Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein is a captivating read about how generality and broad life experiences triumph in a world demanding specificity. This is a great book for a road trip because Epstein provides many different short stories throughout.
Pairs With: an assorted box of chocolates. After all, Forrest Gump had it right, “Life is like a box of chocolates.”
🚪 The Third Door by Alex Banayan
The Third Door: The Wild Quest to Uncover How the World’s Most Successful People Launched Their Careers by Alex Banayan is an incredible and captivating story about how an unknown college freshman ends up interviewing some of the world’s most successful people. This book takes you on so many journeys that it is perfect for passing the time in the car!
Pairs With: a Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme candy bar you grabbed at the gas station on your road trip.
📈 The Man Who Solved the Market by Gregory Zuckerman
The Man Who Solved the Market is an exciting read for anyone even a little interested in math, early machine learning, and money. The story of the brilliant (and relatively unknown) billionaire Jim Simons and how he and his team of brainy friends solved the market is not to be missed.
Pairs With: Rich Chocolate Fudge
🩸 Bad Blood by John Carreyrou
Captivating. Combines Silicon Valley allure with criminal fraud vibes. There’s nothing like an intelligent, young, greedy con artist to rope you in and pass the miles.
Pairs With: Misshapen rejected chocolate, usually sold in sad packing at your local chocolate factory. May have been distributed to the consumer if it wasn’t for an eagle-eyed whistleblower that noticed something didn’t look right and blew its fraudulent cover.
🍄 How to Change Your Mind by Michael Pollan
How to Change Your Mind: What the New Science of Psychedelics Teaches Us About Consciousness, Dying, Addiction, Depression, and Transcendence is a stimulating road trip book. This one will have you thinking about psychedelics and imagining if they’re something you’d try (again?).
Pairs With: Brownies. They’re versatile if you know what I mean 😉
🔋 The Power of Fun by Catherine Price
The Power of Fun by Catherine Price is a fantastic read for anyone interested in learning more about why fun is so important and how to have more of it in your life. This book will get you excited about your journey ahead and all of the fun you’re about to have!
