Audiobooks Vs reading:
I thought to myself, Is audiobooks the same as reading a normal book ?
In today's video I will talk about how audiobooks is compared to reading a book, and what similarities they have in common. I will talk about what the differences there are about listening to an audiobook vs reading a book. We will also take a look at if is listening to an audio book the same as cheating? One thing I just gotta say about audiobooks, is that: Listening to an audiobook is very convenient to get threw A LOT of books!

Fun fact:
Reading books:
1. There are over 129 million books in existence.
According to Google, 129,864,880 million books had been published as of 2010. That number is obviously a lot higher now. So when you say out loud “Ugh, can’t find a good book to read,” know that you have a lot to choose from.
2. The most expensive book ever purchased was sold for $30.8 million.
It was Codex Leicester by Leonardo Da Vinci, and it was purchased by Bill Gates, according to Business Insider. Don’t worry though, he probably made the money back within the hour.
3. There’s a word for loving the smell of old books.
You guys, you know you love the smell of old books. They have the aroma of dust and a whole lot of history. Well now you can call it something. “Bibliosmia” is the word you’ve probably been searching for your whole life.
4. The longest sentence ever printed is 823 words.
We have a feeling it’s probably a run-on, but it’s a legit sentence that exists in Victor Hugo’s Les Miserables, according to Barnes and Noble.
5. Author’s names didn’t used to be printed on the covers of their books.
The covers of the first printed books were considered artworks. They were covered in drawings, leather and even gold - so there wasn’t a place for the author’s name.
Listening to audiobooks:
1. It improves pronunciation and fluency
2. Helps to improve time management
3. Builds Critical Listening skills
4. It improves focus and attention span
5. It improves memory

It is more demanding to read for sure

[@bigpun60]

More demanding to listen in my opinion you know how hard it is to listen while you are doing something else especially at a workplace or out in public or whatever it’s almost the same as picking up a book and reading it and just staying focused FOR ME it’s easier to read then the audio book I think it also just depends on the person and how well they pay attention.

[@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193]

It depends on your learning style.

[@mergonzaga2271]

I agree with you! I work as a domestic helper, so while I am doing my job, i listen to audiobook. I cannot work while reading. For now, audiobooks will do. Though, audiobook is more expensive than print and e-book.

[@thomasswainson2047]

The brain cannot multitask. So listening while doing another task is counter productive and mostly a waste of time. That’s a scientific fact, not an opinion. This is not the same as subconscious multitasking. Such as driving while singing a song or breathing, as they are learned tasks and hard wired. Try learning a language and driving and see how you get on…

[@thetickedoffpianoplayer4193]

@@qazedc3 It depends on what book you're reading. All books have slow parts that will make you space out, unless there is a really good narrator. I read Braille and I'm slow, so if I'm reading something really wordy like Charles Dickens where you have to slog through a lot of descriptions, I will space right out during that jazz. If I'm reading Braille and that happens, I'm likely to put the book aside because I'm slogging through a bunch of rambling with no reward. If I'm playing an audiobook, I'm less likely to lose patience and stick with it.

[@12foot97]

Not for me. I can't visualize while listening to an audio book. But it wasn't always like this. Our teacher would read to us and it was great.

[@reiningpetals]

Reading while Listening to its audiobook is somehow a method that works fine for me. I've been trying every methods of only reading but I tend to lose concentration quickly (unlike when I'm reading ebooks on my phone which is pretty much weird because I can read ebooks for hours but tend to lose concentration quickly in prints).

[@1savannahlegend247]

Probably because the eye is naturally drawn to light

[@tracifranks8852]

My perspective changed after listening to my first audiobook. However, like you said there's just nothing like holding a book in your hands and looking at the words. Although the audiobook makes it easy to listen while working and using your hands. Which is why I would choose an audiobook over reading on a Kindle or something.

[@snackgames13]

holding, smelling and experiencing the physical book on your hands is super as you've mentioned but these are nothin compared to be able to easily share or give a physical book to others. thanks for helping me decide bro!

[@xephyra7020]

Reading a physical book benefits: usually faster to read a passage than listen to someone else narrate it. A book doesn’t require any electronics/speakers. Can be done completely silently. Can use more of your imagination.

[@RealThomasHyldig]

🙌🙌

[@Ola-dv9it]

I read to enjoy a story. However, life can be overwhelming and when I finally have time to sit down and read, I feel too exhausted and so audiobooks help me do something I love when I don’t have the time or energy I wish I did. I feel that they are the same because when I read the book by myself, I still retain and enjoy it the same way even when I switch to the audio another day.

I'm listening to my first audiobook currently and my concentration sucks, my mind wanders a ton or will get bored and start thinking my own thoughts. Idk if I'm retaining the details of the story 😅 but one thing I love about it is the fact that i can multitask with it, like while on a walk or cooking. It gives my mind some mild entertainment so I have something other to pay attention to than my own thoughts. Also love that it feels like someone's reading to me and I'm flying through a book faster than I sit down to read these days

[@yessir.7937]

They are very different to me. Writing on a paper and typing on your PC aren't the same either to me . I don't view it as cheating though, as it is entertainment and not a competition. If someone feels superior because of their reading choice there is something wrong with that person. Reading and listening simply are 2 different things. I will enjoy both and will never look down (or up) to anyone for their prefered choice of reading. Just enjoy the great literature that's out there in whatever way you fancy :)

[@whyohwhy9679]

Writing on paper and typing on your PC aren't the same for me either. Depending on the material, I have been trying to put it into the computer instead of writing it out and then misplacing the paper, especially if it's something I will need to type in later. But I prefer to write. Typing feels more divorced from reality so I freeze up sometimes.

Audible needs to give you a sponsorship you just convinced me to get it .

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Hahahah, ya that could be great 😂

[@JWT878]

Great video! Thanks

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Appreciate it 🙏

[@artofverity8791]

Nice. You could have mentioned some books you're reading or liked in the past. (You said you're into self development). Got any suggestions?

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Hey Tristan, first of thanks for pointing IT out! And for your Question, I would suggest (rich dad, poor dad, atomic habits and how to win friends and influence) and looots of others are great, but i really think these 3 would be a great start 💪

"You get threw books more easily!" is written at 2:42. This mistake shows that reading and listening aren't the same. By reading, you learn a lot of new words, and you learn to write them correctly.

[@Kasumi10074]

I’m not against you for your preference of what you use to read books. If you like physical books and reading the traditional way it’s your choice not someone else’s. Honestly as someone who never tried audiobooks I should definitely give it a try, but since I’ve been having difficulty getting myself to read books, which takes me a long time to do giving audiobooks a try is something I could try.

Audiobooks and physical books are definitely not “pretty much the same thing.” Decoding is essential for reading comprehension. When you state “there’s something about holding a book. I don’t know what it is,” you are indicating your need for multiple-sensory learning. With a book, we feel the paper (tactile learning), smell the book (olfactory memory), see the print and use our brains to decode the language or interpret pictures, charts, graphs…or even see the words as pictures (visual learning), and, as you stated, we hear the word spoken in our head (auditory learning). This fully immersive experience helps us to retain the knowledge more completely; more thoroughly. Listening alone limits our retentive capacity. For learning readers, listening to an audio version while reading along can be of great benefit. This method is also quite beneficial for students of all ages, when content retention is essential. Audiobooks are indeed quite different from reading a physical book, and are not recommended for learning readers. For experienced readers, audiobooks allow the mind to wander more easily, thus limiting content retention for some readers. Reading a physical book uses more areas of the brain and is preferred.

My adhd brain has tried and already given up on podcasts and audiobooks. I like learning visually or reading rather than just listening. If i do, I need a guided lucid dream type audio so that I can enter the realm of the book, while closing my eyes. But I usually listen to audios for revisions. Like a test, and I hv to be quicker than usual so memorizing certain things is better.

[@MutedAggression]

The bicycle provides more benefits to your body though. So would the analogy hold true for reading, which would confer more physiological benefits than audiobooks?

[@whyohwhy9679]

I think it's 2 different methods of intaking information, not a comprehension contest. No cheating involved. (Cheating is looking up crossword answers on the internet. 😉😬) Whichever way works for you leads to the greatest comprehension. Some people grasp more with an audio style - listening. Visual thinkers comprehend by seeing and decoding the letters in their own voice. It also depends on the type of material as well as the desired level of comprehension. Sort of like picking a movie. Is the book something you can listen to while doing automatic tasks or does it require or do you want to give close attention to the material? All just personal choice.

[@sagardahal6525]

The benefits of audio book is multitasking but multitasking looses concentration in both activities so you don't catch deep info from book and as well as your work will not be effective. Thats why i choose to read physical book. We don't have to read it for all day at least read 20 min in morning and 20 min during night.

[@kevsguided8183]

Thanks you literally saved me from not reading another book

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Lol

[@sarveshsp8545]

SOO helpfull.. thank you sir 😄👍

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Most welcome 😊

[@exalkalibor924]

Something learned a long time ago if your an auditory person your listening skills is advance and can grasp more in listening. If your a visualize person then your reading comprehension is better.

[@N8CRE8]

If I get a book on audio I really like then I will buy the paper physical book and have that extra experience as well as a physical collection of books I know I like.

[@nohokodak1865]

Just wondering idk if it normal do people use audio read it while listening or just listen

[@riyadmohmad4363]

Thank you bro lessons

[@RealThomasHyldig]

You're welcome 🙏

[@ftwjoseph7660]

To avoid clutter I use audio books, if I find it in the library or if someone can lend me a book I’ll read and listen at the same time

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Makes sense.

[@AnthonyVargasHD]

Reading is must better, you can rephrase book quotes much more since you can remember how they were written

[@andreasanchez3557]

I read along with audiobooks. I love reading but I have a hard focusing ( I got ADHD ) so for me audiobooks help me.

[@StephenRayner]

Decent video, answer given at the beginning and the rest of the video is further information. Unlike typical documentaries on “how where the pyramids built”

[@RealThomasHyldig]

I try keep my videos straight to the point

[@viz93]

Thanks, all information was usefull

[@RealThomasHyldig]

At your service :)

[@MOKA-rz7fm]

When he said he will answer every comment he MEANT IT 👍👍😊😳

[@RealThomasHyldig]

Trying my best🙏

[@nonamesinnombre666]

I usually remember more of books that I have read myself, but at the moment I prefer audiobooks.

[@amitmishra5811]

Well i think that it is battle between your Eyes and your Ear. Either you read book or listen to it same information is send to your brain it depends on u that u r a good reader or good listener - Things why printed books r better 1. If you don't understand any line while reading u can shift to ur eyes within micro second and read that line again but in case of audio books u need to pause and go back or skip 10 seconds behind 2. U can tickmark important points and find them just by changing ypur pages while no such option is available in audiobooks Advantage of Audio books 1. If you r a gold listner and know English very well then you can listen audio book at ur own speed And complete a book within an hours

[@aswathynair8859]

Audio books for self development books but reading for others books. I love how I can connect to characters and know them

[@vinayyadav259]

What about Listening and watching if you compare both
