Time is your most valuable asset; it is the one thing you can never get back.
With my background as a teacher, I strongly believe that your education is the second most important asset you’ll ever have.
Books have always been one of the most effective ways to learn, and now it is no different.
The goal of reading business books and any non-fiction is not to understand the book or the author’s views, but to understand the book’s concepts.
It is important to read as much as you can and gather more information to make informed judgments.
To do that, you should read frequently, read a variety of books, and take notes comparing the authors’ ideas.
This page is the culmination of everything I have learned through the greatest nonfiction books on the planet.
On this page, you’ll find links to book summaries, reading lists, reviews and more.
You’ll find well over 100 book summaries all organized by category.
Or, you can go straight to the blog.

Book Summary Apps And Publishers
There are plenty of places where you can buy individual book summaries.
However, now, as they say, “there’s an app for that.”
Since convenience is kind and apps have taken over our lives, services like Blinkist, offer book summaries for a monthly fee. Usually, these summaries are quite short (15-minutes) and give the nuts and bolts of the book.
There are also more ‘traditional’ publishing places like Kindle and Audible which offer convenient ways to read.
Here are a few of my favorite apps and websites.:
