Collecting nuggets of wisdom – Blinkist: Book Summaries Daily Review

As a professor I read a lot of books and articles. Everything that I read usually provides one to three important points. I love reading because I can collect nuggets of wisdom and understanding in one domain of knowledge. However, these days I don’t have time to read books in a wide range of subjects because of the time required. I’ve been looking for an app that distills the major points in a short amount of time. Instaread is too basic and provides almost no context through relevant examples. I’ve been impressed with Blinkist because it provides enough context, and distills the main nuggets of wisdom in the book. There are also a sufficient number of titles of related topics that I can develop a deep understanding of content within a short time. I also know that if I want to understand the topic deeper I can get the whole book. I tried the free version for a week and reviewed about 20 books already. I’m planning to get the year long subscription. I am looking forward to learning a lot of things this year!
