Summary

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 have been using this story to help me sleep on and off for over a year, and I have never heard the whole story…..

Never fails

This is about the most boring book on earth, read masterfully by the wonderful Tony Shaloube, but would make for an excellent sleep aid. Stick this on when you get into bed and you'll be out like a light. You certainly wouldn't ever hear the end of this short story. I would recommend for that reason and that reason alone.

Boring but a great sleep aid.

Lives up to it's intended purpose and really helps me fall asleep. Soothing voice in combination with a (for me) uninteresting topic

Really interesting topic, love Mr Shalhoub's delivery too, very calm - yes you can fall asleep, to it but you're missing out on some great historical maths!

Absolutely shocking!
