The methodology is a little complicated that just listen to the book. I suggest you to use the 3 basic styles of learning.
Step 1 Auditory Learning: You basically listen to the book.
Step 2 Visual Learning: You read the book summary (I plan on providing them as I finished them).
Step 3 Kinesthetic / Tactile Learning: You apply the book to your work (you are on your own on this one).
This system works best for me. After I go through all of these steps, I usually retain the book well.
Here is the curriculum. There is no particular order. Just go through them. I will update them as I find more Audio Books from the MBA reading list. So, check back frequently or subscribe for updated list.
