Tip: How to Read More Books Than You Ever Imagined: I recently came across an amazing app for my phone called Blinkist that provides written and audio summaries of books that I can consume like potato chips. (If you’ve never seen me consume potato chips, you’re welcome.) I was skeptical of Blinkist, but tried the free 7-Day trial, and then I fell in love. I know I’ll never be able to consume all the books I want to read about becoming a better human, building a better business, and many other important categories, yet Blinkist breaks down the core concepts of books I know I’ll never get to and offers it in easily consumable “blinks” that allow me to get the gist of an entire book in about 12 minutes. I kid you not. I’m now a subscriber. Yes, of course I still read, and a lot, and I still listen to audio books on Audible, regularly, but I love Blinkist for those books that I just want the essence of to apply in my life. You can try Blinkist for 7-Days free, and I think you will thank me; it is one of the most amazing technologies I have run across in a long time. That’s saying a lot. (Share this on Twitter)
