About this listen

Hungry for a treasure trove of weird and wonderful facts beyond your wildest imagination? Then keep on reading…

Did you know that trees collaborate, communicate, and engage in chemical warfare?

Or that humans are better at smelling rain than sharks are at smelling blood?

Sometimes, life gets boring. Your sense of wonder often gets lost in a pile of chores, paperwork, and obligations.

With tons of boredom-busting facts and mysteries about plants, animals, history, space travel, and everything in between, you have a set of fail-safe conversation starters up your sleeve.

So, if you want to find out…

  • Why some people believe their families have been replaced by impostors
  • How tens of thousands of fireflies can synchronize with each other to blink in unison

Then this book is here to satisfy your curiosity.

In this enthralling collection of 60 fascinating, bizarre, and entertaining phenomena, you’ll discover:

  • The creature that never dies — it just goes back to the juvenile stage and starts all over again
  • How a slimy glob of single-celled organisms can remember, learn, and transfer knowledge
  • When science-fiction turns into real-life horror — how a fungus takes over ants’ bodies and turns them into zombies
  • The story of the “dancing plague” that swept through Europe 500 years ago, leaving people dead from exhaustion
  • The country where you can pay someone to apologize for you, or even quit your job
  • The mechanics of black holes and the possibility of “white holes”… places where time runs backward

And so much more.

This isn’t just any old collection of recycled factoids and half-true anecdotes — all of the information has been carefully curated, thoroughly researched, and fact-checked.

So, what are you waiting for?

Super Interesting

This book is full of interesting stories, and fun facts. So many facts about nature, insects, space, animals and more. I really liked the bizarre natural phenomena and historical moments. The unsolved mysteries was a hit as well with my kids. Since my kids were little we have read these kinds of books and even now as the are young adults we enjoy this book as a family. It’s fun to read the curiosities of the world, and have conversations about it. Highly recommend.

Journey Through the Weird and Wonderful

I stumbled upon this audiobook during a long road trip, and it turned out to be the perfect companion. The narrator's engaging voice kept me hooked as I learned about everything from quirky animal behaviors to mind-boggling space facts.
What I loved most was how it sparked conversations with my kids. We found ourselves pausing the audio to discuss the wild things we'd just learned. Did you know octopuses have three hearts? Neither did we!
The bite-sized format made it easy to listen in short bursts, perfect for my busy schedule. While some facts were familiar, many were genuinely surprising and fun.
If you're curious about the world and love collecting random knowledge, give this a listen. It's like having a trivia night in your ear!

Mysteries Await

Who doesn't love to learn new things, especially if they are not known to the average person? I love to know facts that I can stump and entertain people. The world God made around us is amazing and can leave us with an overwhelming feeling of wonder. God has made everything so intricate for us, and I am thankful for his daily creation. It should cause us to be more aware of the greatness of who He is. Grab this audiobook and stop and enjoy the wonder and greatness of the world around you.

Captivating

I was looking for a relaxing listen but I wanted something stimulating too. I'm so glad I found this audiobook, it was the perfect fit. All those facts are absolutely mindblowing while according to the author 100% true (I didn't check). Such a fantastic collection! I haven't stopped talking about it to my family and they've been really enjoying listening to these 'curiosities' second hand. Enjoy!
