As you may have noticed, I am an avid reader.
I use the website howlongtoread.com to know how long a book is going to be, which enables me to make enough time to read and finish (and summarize!!) any book within a week.
That’s 52 books per year, more than 99.9% of people on earth will read in their lifetime.
For more content, head to auresnotes.com.
Subscribe to my monthly newsletter and I'll send you a list of the articles I wrote during the previous month + insights from the books I am reading + a short bullet list of savvy facts that will expand your mind. I keep the whole thing under three minutes.
How does that sound?
