Auditory Absorbent Learning (AAL)

Auditory Absorbent Learning is likely the most common form of Absorbent Learning practiced among Americans, though nobody calls it that. It entails listening with the intent to learn during white spaces in your day (like your chores or your commute). It can take the form of audiobooks, podcasts, or other spoken media. Auditory Absorbent Learning introduces ideas in your mind, and stimulates thought processes that wouldn't otherwise happen.
