Statistics show that most CEOs and executives read more than 60 non fiction books a year. Billionaire Warren Buffet, when he began his stock investing career read over 600 pages of material per day.

“Do you know how many books the average person reads per year?” Jim Kwik, brain fitness expert, and speed-reading coach said in an interview Inc. Magazine. “Literally two or three, for the entire year. And yet, the average CEO is reading four or five books per month. That’s a drastic difference.”

My friends and I read, watch, and listen to a lot of non fiction content as well. I created this page to remind my older self not only what I’ve read, but what concepts I have EXECUTED from my studies.

To help me go through more than five books a week. I subscribe to a service called Blinkist. Their platform provides you with key insights from bestselling non fiction books, transformed into powerful packs you can read or listen to in just 15 minutes.

Below is a list of non fiction books I’ve gone through using Blinkist.
