Too Busy for Books
We all want to learn more, do more, be more. We don’t all have time to read more.
Most nonfiction books today are padded with stories, anecdotes, and just-plain-unnecessary information. It takes a week or more to read a book, yet you only walk away with a paragraph of actionable information. It’s beyond frustrating. Here at Too Busy for Books, I respect the fact that you’re busy. This blog outlines the actionable information in nonfiction books and nothing else. This isn’t to say that the books don’t contain useful information outside what’s transcribed in the blog, only that I wouldn’t personally define that excess information as “actionable.” Page numbers containing actionable information are listed in the post so that, should you choose to check out the book, you can easily find those sections yourself.
If you have any nonfiction books you’d like to have read and condensed, feel free to contact me here. New blog posts come out every other Wednesday.
