Meet Therese, she’s a business development manager living in Berlin, Germany. Last month, she managed to read over 100 nonfiction titles in psychology, politics and leadership. It 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 couldn’t meet the deadline. She got through the first few chapters relatively quickly but found it impossible to finish the book in the designated 2 hours. Although 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 app. As one of the first services to condense nonfiction books into quick reads. To produce quality insights from every book, she learned that has an editorial team that combs bestseller lists, user recommendations and solicits expert input to find the most intriguing books. Then, a team of specialist readers distill the key ideas and write them up in a brand-new format. This “book-in-blinks” is then fact-checked and quality-controlled by four members of the editorial team. Finally, narrators record an audio version and after being checked for quality, both are uploaded to the library. The audio function is what really convinced her, as it allowed her to listen to the learning 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. Read all about her experience in her own words below! How many titles did you read in total? 102 to be exact. It might sound like a lot. I read roughly 3 titles a day, mostly during commutes.
