I used to have the habit of reading a book from cover to cover just for the sake of saying I read every word. Often, I would need to reread the same book when I finally needed the information. This was stupid and redundant. When I broke this bad habit, I became more effective and efficient with my time. With well-written book summaries, I retain a lot more of the content than I ever did reading a book from cover to cover. From this point forward, I'm going to propose you develop the uncanny ability to be selectively ignorant. Ignorance may be bliss, but it is also practical and very effective. It is imperative you learn to focus on information that can solve your problems, advance your business goals, and boost your personal wealth. Reading executive book summaries will help you do all three. I can read 5,000-word, eight-page print executive book summaries in just 15 minutes or listen to specially scripted audio summaries in about 20 minutes - and nothing more. With book summaries I am able to maintain a laser focus on information that is relevant to my professional goals. In five years, I have not had a problem due to this selective ignorance. As I wind up this post, I conclude that I need to take my change my information diet and increase my appetite for book summaries. Boy, have I saved a lot of time. Book summaries have given me extra time to spend time with my wife, bond with my children, and sharpen my competitive edge.
