Things are scary right now. We’re all being swept along by a tidal wave of history, and it’s easy to feel helpless. But we’re not helpless: We have minds, and imaginations, and the ability to visualize other worlds and valiant struggles. And writing can be an act of resistance that reminds us that other futures and other ways of living are possible. Full of memoir, personal anecdote, and insight about how to flourish during the present emergency, Never Say You Can’t Survive is the perfect manual for creativity in unprecedented times.

Physical book is probably better

Honestly this was my first time listening to Charlie and I did come away with some useful kernels and some inspiration as well. I especially enjoyed learning about the Born Sexy Yesterday trope which I had never heard of before.
I feel that whomever mixed this audiobook could have done a better job. I can hear Charlie's breathing at times and I don't blame Charlie (I'm sure audiobooks are exhausting) I blame the person who mixed the audiobook. I listened to On Writing before this and I can't remember King 's breath coming through at all or at least as often.
Charlie includes a few writing exercises and I feel that lends itself a little better to a physical book than an audiobook.
I was more interested in Charlie's overall story such as the tribulations endured while she transitioned and how enveloping herself in other cultures affected her views as a trans person. Did they make her more hopeful? Were other cultures less or more abrasive than American culture towards trans people?
I think it's just to safe to say I enjoy the interweaving of story and advice as On Writing does and that made me a little bias in how I enjoyed this audiobook. My suggestion is to not listen to other books about writing before this one, give yourself a small break first.

“Long live the King” hailed Entertainment Weekly upon publication of Stephen King’s On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer’s craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King’s advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported, near-fatal accident in 1999—and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recovery.

Who needs a print edition when King reads King?

Fantastic in both mediums.

I already own On Writing as a physical book but I wanted to see if listening to the audiobook further reinforced King's excellent book on the craft.
I think it was much easier for me to want to finish this version and finished it in about two days and I must say that actually hearing King speak made certain parts funnier and latter parts much more heartfelt.
