The summer is left behind. Thanks to vaccines and curing methods, it was not as difficult as the previous summer. However, such a beast as COVID-19 continues to resist. And we continue to adapt to changing conditions, ask questions, and search for answers wherever we can, including in books.
What questions did audiobooks listeners ask this summer? After checking the statistics and identifying the top audiobooks popular this summer, we try to formulate these questions.
Germany
This summer, German-speaking listeners preferred audiobooks of ABP Verlag on life quality improvement. Special attention was also drawn to the threats women meet on the path to their identity.
- How do sleeping habits affect the human body?
- Can we change the way we breathe to achieve a healthier life?
- What should we do to change gender politics and include women in the global modern processes?
Following the listeners, you can find your answers.
Das große Buch vom Schlaf by Matthew Walker
Sleep is one of the most important but least understood aspects of our life, wellness, and longevity. Until very recently, science had no answer to the question of why we sleep, or what good it served, or why we suffer such devastating health consequences when we don’t sleep. An explosion of scientific discoveries in the last twenty years has shed new light on this fundamental aspect of our lives. Now, preeminent neuroscientist and sleep expert Matthew Walker gives us a new understanding of the vital importance of sleep and dreaming.
There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo.
Unsichtbare Frauen by Caroline Criado-Perez
Invisible Women takes on the neglected topic of what we don’t know – and why. The result is a powerful, important and eye-opening analysis of the gender politics of knowledge and ignorance. With examples from technology to natural disasters, this is an original and timely reminder of why we need women in the leadership of the institutions that shape every aspect of our lives. In her new book, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population.

- Is it possible to fully reveal our potential and to achieve the ideal life balance?
