Get Key Insights From More Books This Week Than You Did Last Year With Blinkist
Reading all the books you want can be challenging. There’s plenty of knowledge to be gained from reading books and you can teach yourself almost anything with the right title. But actually sitting down and reading through those books takes a lot of time—and that’s something most of us just don’t have.
However, there’s one app that is changing how the world reads. Blinkist gathers key insights from nonfiction books and shares them as 15-minute reads and listens. There are 6,500 titles to choose from across 27 categories including entrepreneurship, psychology and productivity.
These bite-sized explainers give you everything you need to know about a book in a fraction of the time it takes to read it cover to cover.
According to Pew Research, the typical American reads just four books a year—and that number hasn’t changed since 2011. With Blinkist, you can get powerful insights from four books in your hour-long commute. In fact, the 15-minute explainers can fit into pockets of time throughout your day, like when you’re walking the dog, cooking or working out. This means you can easily get insights from more books in a week than most do in a whole year.

A Book Explained in 15 Minutes
Blinkist’s team of expert researchers, writers and editors pull out only the most important information in a book. This includes key takeaways, actionable advice, interesting case studies and entertaining anecdotes.
All this information is then presented in a bite-sized explainer that can be read or listened to. This way, you can access the knowledge found in top nonfiction books no matter how busy your schedule is.
Learning on the Go
Although many of us want to read more, our busy lives stop us from sitting down to actually do it. With Blinkist, you don’t need to sit down to read at all. Each explainer comes with an audio version so you can listen and learn on the go. You can take in top titles while commuting, exercising or doing chores around the house, or you can incorporate Blinkist into your morning and evening routines.
The app has even won awards for its audio from the International Sound Awards.
