Have you ever wished that you could improve an aspect of your life, but you weren’t sure where to start? Or had the best intentions to change a bad habit but didn’t know how? If you have, you’re not alone.
Welcome to the Blinkist challenge that will help you with your personal growth goals in just 30 days. Every day, over a whole month, you’ll get expert evidence-based techniques from the Blinkist app that will help you work more efficiently and effectively.
So, whether you want to sleep better, improve your public speaking skills, learn about cryptocurrency, or just get more done in your daily routine, this challenge is for everyone who wants to grow in their life. Don’t worry about finding reading time, either – all Blinkist books are available in audio, too, allowing you to listen in the car, on the treadmill, or while cooking.
But before we get this challenge started, here’s an overview of what Blinkist is all about. Blinkist is an app that takes core ideas from a nonfiction book and packages them into an explainer, which you can enjoy in as little as 15 minutes. The method is backed by neuroscientific principles, designed with your brain in mind: what you’ll learn in this challenge is easy to understand, and hard to forget.
“Innovative and boundary-pushing. Blinkist helps me to grow every day; I adore it!”– 5-Star Review
Today, there are over 6,500 short summaries for nonfiction books in the app’s library, covering topics like parenting, history, and productivity. It’s an app for everyone – from busy students to parents, Olympians like Ian Warner, musicians like Ellie Goulding, and even Apple’s CEO Tim Cook.
There’s no app where you can learn from so many bestselling books on so many topics unless you purchased each individually. That’s the magic of Blinkist: there’s a whole world of learning in one place.
And Blinkist isn’t “just” about nonfiction anymore. Now, you can also explore the key summaries and ideas of fiction books. From the banned to the famous, to the classics, Blinkist offers a unique way to dive into the world of fiction. Discover some special titles in our collection of the best fiction books.

The best habit I picked up during this quarantine is using @blinkist to learn new things while doing the dishes, laundry or cooking. It feels like I’ve read a library-worth of books while doing chores! Now I have a yearly subscription.
