Daily life and daily routines can simply wear you down. And when you have one of those days when nothing goes right, you tend to feel even worse. No matter if you have an argument with a friend, if your teenager has a bad day, or if your boss just took the day to criticize your work.

 

The reality is that we all have days like these. And when we have them, the best thing you can do is to motivate yourself. But how?

 

One of the best things you can do is to listen to an inspirational and motivational audiobook or podcast. While there are a lot of great options out there, we hand-selected the 10 best audiobooks and podcasts to get motivated.

This is probably one of the most popular books of the last decade. And you can now have it as an audiobook and we are certain that you’re going to love it.

While this audiobook is more related to thinking about money from a different perspective, the reality is that you can get the motivation you need if you stop working for the money, as the author says.

 

#5:  The School of Greatness

Lewis Howes, a former pro athlete, is the host of this motivational podcast. As you know, athletes, especially pro athletes, need to develop motivational thinking on their own. In fact, many professional sports already include professional motivators to help athletes reach better performance.

With this audiobook, you will understand and realize that you can do a lot more and a lot better than what you currently do.

Hosted by Alix Spiegel, Lulu Miller, and Hanna Rosin, this podcast is a bit different from all the others in this list. The reality is that it discusses some invisible concepts that tend to control your beliefs, behaviors, emotions, assumptions, and even cultural norms.

In this podcast, the hosts interview innovative thinkers who tend to look at problems from a completely different perspective. Ultimately, they end up motivating you by teaching more about these invisible forces and how you can prevent them from affecting you.
