Any educational Audiobooks? I have audible credits to spend

[ladysmanfelpz]

Any textbook type or educational books that are actually easy to listen to? It could be a single discipline, or more broad overview, or even something contemporary. I'm last year resident and want something to keep me engaged and motivated and may be helpful for boards. I'm an auditory learner and like listening to my books and podcasts while running, chores etc. I did find they had a psychopharmacology book 4th Edition by Joe Wegmann with accompanying PDF. I think I'll give this a go. Also listened to some Jung books, while although interesting, not too relevant to boards and modern psych knowledge. I go through spurts of really wanting to learn and have 3 credits to use so what is some educational content I can pick up.

Thanks for the suggestions.

FYI a lot of antipsychiatry and the myth of mental disorders out there lol. And it doesn't really have to be board stuff, just something interesting where you did learn from listening. Could be about neuroscience, a type of psychotherapy, neurodevelopment. Just something interesting that you also learned from. Thanks again.

Dopamine nation is a good related subject to practice that is actually useful, but not particularly useful for the boards.

Audible has some psych great courses that are interesting. It's mostly review, but a good way to stay engaged with the academics side of the field.

Like what? I found a CBT related one and the psychopharm one, but that's about it.

Yeah good book. Already read it. Useful for habits and assigning your patients, but that's about it.

Looking just now, I can see stuff on mindfulness, performance psychology, learning theory, etc. like I said, a lot of it’s review, but could be interesting if you’re goal is to stay engaged. Also depends on what you want.

A little more on the pop psych side, but I listened to Thinking Fast and Slow by Kahneman on audible, which was a fantastic listen.

Here are some I enjoyed on Audible that are generally at most peripherally related to psychiatry:

The Dorito Effect, Mark Schatzker
Slow Productivity, Cal Newport
Win Your Case, Gerry Spence (cool insight into the world of litigation)
The Comfort Crisis, Michael Easter
Trauma and Recovery, Judith Herman
The Gift of Fear, Gavin DeBecker
Caste, Isabel Wilkerson
The Burnout Epidemic, Jennifer Moss
Committed, Adam Stern
Hooked, Michael Moss
Never Split the Diffrence, Chris Voss
How Not to Die, Michael Gregor
Atomic Habits, James Clear
Love's Executioner, Irving Yalom
Your Happiness Was Hacked, Vivek Wadhawa
The Coddling of the American Mind, Jonathan Haidt
How to Change Your Mind, Michael Pollan
Factfulness, Hans Rosling
On Killing, Lt. Col. Dave Grossman
Snakes in Suits, Robert Hare
Narconomics, Tom Wainwright


A lot of these are really entertaining and, while they will not prepare you for the board exam, are very much worth a read!
