Variety of knowledge is power

Using the above diagram, I try to explain that it's better to read a summary that briefly describes 12 powerful ideas from 12 different books, rather than read only 1 book out of 12.

The fact is, every single book (except for a very small minority called the classics) can be summarized on a piece of paper. Also, single individual ideas within books are more powerful than the whole book itself.

The purpose of this blog is to share with you the most powerful ideas from the best books on business, management, leadership, psychology, futurism, marketing, sales, personal development, technology, the new economy, etc.

Knowledge is kung fu

The above is a secret few people in the West actually know, let alone practice. Bruce Lee himself said "I'm not afraid of the man who knows 100 kicks, but I am afraid of the man who practiced one kick 10,000 times."

Most people can read a book. But after reading the book, they still do not know (meaning that they don't have the "capacity for effective action" in their daily lives). That's because a book may SUPPLY knowledge, but it never teaches readers how to APPLY that knowledge.

This is why reading an entire book is often a waste of time. Better to browse through one, and pick up a powerful principle or idea that you then aggressively apply in YOUR life, on a daily basis, and see if it actually works. If it DOES work and you get the desired results, then it is reasonable perhaps to buy the book and try to apply more of its ideas.

The power of knowledge!

If you had any doubts about how knowledge could empower a person and even make him rich, check out this video on a young man who used (personal development) knowledge to pull himself out of poverty and become a millionaire: http://www.successuniversity.com/FoxVideo/

Today, there is SO MUCH information available out there, yet most of it is not practical, nor strategic, nor concisely written. Result: you waste time, energy and money.

This is not acceptable! You've got better things to do in life, like spend time with family and friends, play golf, go shopping with the girls, or just hang around with the boys.

We get that. We understand your challenge. And we're here for you.

We are professional bookworms. We read everything under the sun, and give you a concise summary. We ruin our eyesight reading hundreds of books per year so you don't have to.
