I’ve always had an interest in science, but I have also had a limited attention span for learning about mathematics-based sciences such as physics (I can admit that I’m a math hater). The audiobook, read by deGrasse Tyson himself, squeezes a ton of information into 5 hours of listening for listeners with minimal time to devote to learning about astrophysics. I found myself listening to his explanations of theories and various hypotheses when I needed something factual to help reduce my anxiety. While deGrasse Tyson presents a variety of new vocabulary and advanced astrophysics concepts, he definitely does so in a way that most people could follow along (although having taken high school or college-level physics would probably help enrich the listener’s understanding). While deGrasse Tyson’s book won’t leave you prepared to conduct your own experiments or call yourself an astrophysicist, AFPIH will provide you with the basic understanding of astrophysics that you will need to follow along with a variety of scientific news and discussions. I found my copy via Libby, so it was worth listening to for free. I would recommend this book to someone who does want to learn about astrophysics quickly
