Editors’ Notes

Who has time to read these days? We do! That’s thanks to Blinkist’s brilliant summaries of top non-fiction books. Not only are the articles packed with insight into business, culture and self-improvement, they’re designed with busy schedules in mind. Seamless switching between text and narration is super-useful on the go, and finding topics couldn’t be simpler.

My Resource to Life

I get my daily dosage of tips on how to best handle life experiences come from this app. When I really like the blinks (which is most of the time), I go ahead to buy the full audio book. It has really been my buddy for years.

I have also told some friends about the app and they love it.

I’m so thankful to the team for this exposure to all fields of life. Great job and thank you again.

Seun Mos ,

Fantastic but sometimes too shallow.

I really value anyone who can summarize the main ideas of a long boring book or thesis. But I value more when that person pays good attention to all the main points and messages.

I therefore am thankful to have the opportunity of getting the most of some very important books....but I sometimes feel some are over summarized and so some key values from the book gets lost in the process.

Well done the Blinkist Team!
