Feels like an immense con that there is no audiobook version of this edition, on Play Books, yet apparently there IS an audiobook version that exists elsewhere. I get the best out of self-help books in audio form, now it seems I'll have to purchase this one twice over since I can't get a refund on the written copy and Google's "read aloud" function is laughably bad.

Excellent, readable and do-able book, that is understandable for the average lay person
