I'll be road tripping from SF down to San Diego, and am in search of some good audio books to listen to on the way.<p>If I had to rate which sort of content I'd want before others:<p>1) A damn good story
2) Valuable life lessons
3) Leadership advice for work<p>Any recommendations?
Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Can't get better work leadership advice than Uncle Enzo. Then again, the protagonist has a pretty strong work ethic as well:<p>"The Deliverator used to make software. Still does, sometimes. But if life were a mellow elementary school run by well-meaning education Ph.D.s, the Deliverator's report card would say: "Hiro is so bright and creative but needs to work harder on his cooperation skills."<p>So now he has this other job. No brightness or creativity involved—but no cooperation either. Just a single principle: the Deliverator stands tall, your pie in thirty minutes or you can have it free, shoot the driver, take his car, file a class-action suit. The Deliverator has been working this job for six months, a rich and lengthy tenure by his standards, and has never delivered a pizza in more than twenty-one minutes."
