she’s a business
development manager. Living in Germany.
Last month, she managed to read over 100 nonfiction titles in psychology,
politics and leadership.
she started with a
bet. A colleague challenged her to read Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: The Story
Of Success in two hours.
As determined as she
was, She got through the first few chapters relatively quickly but found it
impossible to finish the book in the designated 2 hours.And she lost the bet.
she had an idea. “I
want to read more nonfiction books—I find it really useful to read the key
takeaways from lots of books to help me get a feeling for what’s an absolute
must for my to-read list!”
She found several
websites, blogs and apps that transform books into ‘bite-sized’ content. In the
end, she opted for the Blinkist app. As one of the first services to condense
nonfiction books into quick reads, the Blinkist app has 1,500 bestselling
nonfiction titles in its library (including Outliers: The Story of Success!).
To produce quality insights from every book, she learned that they have over
100 literary experts hard at work. She was also convinced the audio function
which allowed her to listen to the learnings throughout her day.
With this cool new sidekick,
Therese set a new goal for herself – she would read the key insights from 100
books in just one month.
She read 102 titles in
total,read roughly 3 titles a day, mostly during commutes.
His favorite authoris book is Dale Carnegie’s books, they’re
all self-help classics. Richard Dawkins’ books about the human race are also
very interesting. But I’m going to settle on Dan Ariely. His book Predictably
Irrational on human behavior has given me the best insights for my job yet.
She used to burn a lot of time on social media and
Netflix.her job is exhausting, by the time she leave work.
