In my view, audiobooks are a complete waste of time for retaining information unless you are highly engaged and not distracted. The droves of multitaskers that "mind hack / life hack" themselves by listening to audiobooks at 2x+ speeds while "getting shit done" are deluding themselves and descending into stupidity. Read, god dammit! Read! You have to read deeply and deliberately. Seriously, audio books are a good supplement but not a replacement. You cannot be educated "on the go" with audio books. Anything worth learning will demand your full attention. That's my opinion.
