About this listen

In his soft yet captivating voice, award-winning actor Tony Shalhoub (Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Monk) calmly tells the tale of how the ancient Greeks formalized the study of mathematics based on Phoenician teachings.

Bedtime stories are narrated by the world’s most celebrated voices and written with no beginning, middle, or end so you don’t stay up to hear what happens next. They're interesting enough to give your mind something to focus on, but delivered in a way that encourages sleep.

This title is part of the Audible Sleep Collection, exclusive audio experiences created to invite relaxation and sleep. New and free for members.

I thought I knew a thing or two about math, I thought I'd be interested and engaged. However, he lost me at Pythagorean and I slipped into a blissful slumber... night night.

Tony Shalhoub is one of my favorite actors and now, one of my favorite narrators. This selection did exactly what it was meant to do, and I drifted off to sleep in no time at all. Thank you, Mr. Shalhoub.

I'm unable to comment on the quality of the content. I have listened to this 6 nights in a row. I've yet to stay awake beyond a few sentences after the intro.

Tony Shaloub's voice is great. After he advises to take a deep breath and get comfortable, it's a matter of minutes before I'm out like a light.

I cannot tell you if the content is any good...

This audiobook should not be the part of sleep collection. The story is too interesting and require some consentration.
