Business book summaries for busy professionals
You’re busy. Books are long. Fortunately, many popular business books are available in a summary form.
From productivity hacks to leadership advice, there’s a lot to learn in the business section of any bookstore. But anybody who’s spent any time reading business books knows that many aren’t more than a couple thousand words of advice padded out with anecdotes and repetition—and we’re talking about even the good ones. And while all that reiteration can be helpful in driving the point home, sometimes the message clicks quickly and you just don’t need all that other stuff. That’s where these summaries come in. Each one serves up the core message of a popular business book so you can read it, get it, and get back to—well, business.
