Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take 🎧 Audiobook
Gratitude: Essays
Oliver Sacks · 2015
🎙 Narrated by Dan Woren
83/100
👍 Worth It
Oliver Sacks wrote these four essays in his final months, and they're as clear-eyed and lovely as anything he ever wrote -- short, at just over half an hour, but it stays with you. Dan Woren's measured, contemplative reading suits the material and is absolutely worth the listen. Just know going in that it's about facing death honestly, so have a tissue handy.
