In case you like to learn new things and feel like you haven't got enough time ( to do so ), you might be interested in the following app: Blinkist.

It provides you with summaries of non fiction books, divided into a number of so called 'blinks'. You can listen to those blinks in a minute or 15. Or, if you prefer reading, opt to just read the blinks. Doing both, to really grab the message, is a possibility too.

A couple of days ago, I was on the brink ( not blink ) of getting myself a one year subscription to this app, as I love to learn and grow every single day. I might have finally stopped growing at the age of 21, my brain refuses to do the same.

Paypal wasn't working along though when I tried to get my Blinkist sunscription going, I didn't manage to get the payment go through. I then found out that there's a free book summary on Blinkist every single day, so I decided to keep the app on my phone and to go Dutch instead. I guess I can't help it, being born and raised in The Netherlands.

Since that day, I have been listening to a number of book summaries. The last couple of days, the app seems to read my mind. It picks books and subjects that I'm really interested in - Deepak Chopra's 'Metahuman' and Welcoming the Unwelcome ( about Buddhism ) were especially interesting.

I have to admit one thing though, unless you really write down or copy the info of the book and start practicing the lessons that it preaches, the info probably won't stick. You might feel like actually buying those books to learn more, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Anyhow, to summarize once again:

If you love to learn and evolve ( which is only natural and human ), you might want to give Blinkist a try:

Go to https://www.blinkist.com/en/nc/library/ or find it in your app store / google play store.
