Many a summary later
#448 | Judge a book by its summary
Hands up if you think too many non-fiction books are being published these days!
Most of these books seem to be in the 'self-help' and 'productivity' zone, with a suspiciously large number of authors posing as saffron-clad spiritual gurus doling out life-changing advice. Before this becomes another rant, I'll redirect my attention to today's Thing.
It's a really useful site called Littler Books that summarises non-fiction books in sufficient detail to help you decide whether or not to read the whole book. It's also an accessible way to discover new books. For example, I came across this book called Psycho-Cybernetics: A New Way to Get More Living Out of Life by Maxwell Maltz, which I will definitely not be reading.
Littler Books has no ads, and it is written and edited by humans, not AI. It also has an unwitting canine mascot.
In this day and age, what else can you ask for?
