Dr Louise Newson Audiobooks

What do you want from a health book: a summary, or the whole picture? The Power of Hormones is plainly built for the second, and it is the title that brings Dr Louise Newson to our health and wellbeing shelf.

Ten hours is a generous allowance for a single subject, and generosity of that sort is a choice. It suggests an author who would rather cover the ground properly than hand over a digest. We let the book stand on its own terms here; the writing is the introduction.

Ten hours is best taken in chapters rather than in one sitting, treated as a reference you come back to instead of a book you finish and shelve. The structure of health writing usually rewards that approach, and the running time here almost insists on it.

Dr Louise Newson reads the audiobook personally, which matters more in this genre than in most: when guidance is delivered by the person who assembled it, the emphasis falls exactly where the author intended. The title is newly listed, so listener reactions are still coming in. Have a browse through the titles set out below.
