listening a book and drinking my coffee never felt better before in the morning

In my daily routine, it starts with nutella waffles while making my coffee. In the morning, I want focus and these days I am building knowledge about leadership and behavioral psychology). Befreed app builds a custom learning plan for me. Duo of coffee and book lessons help me boost my confidence for the day and my rituals.

These audio lessons sound surprisingly natural. I choose a calm, professional voice and listen while eating or walking the dog, driving, or doing chores. It doesn’t feel like a robotic summary. It actually explains concepts, gives examples, and even adds relevant insights based on what I’ve told the app about my goals.

One of my favorite feature: I created a quick plan of  Psychology of Money, listened to a 18-minute personalized episode, it helped me way more than just reading a summary would have. I do this with many selfhelp books.

Also, what I Love more about this

  • Flexibility- Some days I want deep audio, other days I quickly read text summaries or drill with flashcards. It adapts to my energy level.
  • Personalization- It remembers what I’ve learned and builds on it. No more generic content.
  • Works great during repetitive work or commutes. So I prefer when I am waiting for someone or before sleep or even just going somewhere.

It’s not flawless. Sometimes the AI voice changes tone mid-lesson. The interface is cool and new and it’s been worth it because I actually use it almost every day.

Try, if you’re a busy person who wants to keep learning without it feeling like another chore.

A few chapters in, life would get busy again. The books stayed on my shelf. My to-read list kept growing faster than my actual progress.

After a while, it started feeling frustrating watching everyone else level up while I kept restarting from page one.

Then I randomly found BeFreed, at first I thought it was just another audiobook app, but it’s different. You choose what you want to learn, your goals, the topics you care about, and it turns books, research papers, podcasts, even expert ideas into personalized audio lessons.

Not just summaries either.

It breaks concepts down, explains them with examples, highlights the important parts, and structures everything like a mini learning path. Feels more like having someone teach you than just listening to an audiobook.

Honestly, this is the first time learning has felt easy to fit into my life instead of something I had to “make time” for.

The voices are surprisingly natural too. You can switch styles depending on the vibe you want.

Hopefully, the future way of my reading will be changed. Except for biography books like when breath becomes air, I would pick this app. I don't think I wanna miss the part of any biography book but still for the self-help books I highly recommend it.

For months I felt stuck. I’d buy books, start them, then life gets busy and they collect dust. I love goodreads but finding the time to read books was not luxury for me.

I was tired of feeling like I was falling behind, especially watching everyone else seem to “level up” so easily.

It's basically an app that takes books, research papers, expert talks, whatever topic you're into, and turns it into personalized audio lessons narrated in a really natural voice. You tell it what you want to learn and your goals, and it creates custom stuff tailored to you. Not just generic summaries, but actual structured lessons with key takeaways, examples, and follow-ups.

I've been using it while commuting and working out. Finished the equivalent of like 3 books in the last two weeks because I can actually absorb the info passively. The voices are surprisingly good, you can even pick different ones. Feels like having a personal tutor whispering knowledge in your ear.

Tried it on stuff like Atomic Habits, negotiation skills from Chris Voss, and even some deeper psychology topics. Works way better for me than speed reading or regular audiobooks because it's condensed but still explains things properly.

It felt so good I bought subscription which was not very huge amount for a bookworm.

Or maybe I just in the honeymoon phase.

TL;DR: BeFreed turns any knowledge into personalized audio lessons. Looks like personal.. podcast.

Give it a go.

I am not talking about real person. I am talking about, a tool or podcast speaker but AI Podcast Generator. Yes, Befreed, in my opinion is like that. It is like a human podcast of your favourite book. It is an app smarter than a book summary.

If you been used to thinking that *"*books are boring" or "you don't have time".

Switch to Books to Befreed audio learning app. Where you can learn any book while On The Go.

You can pick any book and start listening the overrated and underrated concepts easily of that book without skimming through tons of pages.

It has Multi-Mode Formats: Audio podcasts, immersive videos, adaptive flashcards, and interactive chats.

But my favourite is audio podcast which turns my favourite book into a good guide.

What I realized now,

  • I can learn pretty much complex topics.
  • I don't have to worry about if I am able to finish the book or not.
  • Still can't beat real books. But for a while, it has beaten my e-book tablets.

Anyone else figure out they needed a different learning format? What works for your brain?
