Susan Clare Britton Audiobooks

Practical curiosity is the thread running through the audiobooks of Susan Clare Britton. Rather than settling into a single subject, she writes across the territory where everyday life meets useful knowledge, from the science of caring for your skin in harsh weather to the place of artificial intelligence in the modern workplace.

Reliable biographical detail about Britton is scarce, so we shall let the books speak for themselves, and they speak clearly. Each one favours plain explanation over jargon and treats self-improvement in its broadest, most sensible sense, taking in health and wellbeing, personal development and the changing world of work along the way.

That range places her firmly within the tradition of practical non-fiction that audiobook listeners have come to prize: guides designed to be absorbed on a walk or a commute and put to use the same day. It is an unassuming kind of writing, and a genuinely useful one.

Our catalogue currently holds three of Britton’s audiobooks, and together they show the breadth of her interests. Cold Climate Skin Science addresses exactly what its title promises, caring for your skin when the weather turns harsh, Awake in Love moves into altogether more personal territory, and Artificial Intelligence in Everyday Life and Work considers the technology now reshaping both.

All three are voiced by Timothy Burke, whose steady, unhurried delivery gives her catalogue a pleasing consistency from one subject to the next. If you are new to her work, simply start with whichever title touches your own life most directly. That, one suspects, is rather the point of her writing.
