Books can change your life. They did mine. The information contained within them can help you make millions of dollars, break bad habits and addictions, lose weight, get the girl or guy of your dreams, develop lasting relationships, travel the world, earn financial freedom to do whatever you want, and achieve your wildest dreams.

The issue, however, is that reading books takes time. And, it’s time well spent, no doubt. But, it leaves us optimizers out there are asking the question, “What if I could learn all that information, but in 1/10th the time?” And, the answer is, you can. 

The Self-Improvement Almanac distills down 25 of my favorite self improvement books to the most important pieces of information, so you can get all the essentials in 1/10th the time. It’s broken down into five categories: Productivity, Personal Finance, Personal Development, Entrepreneurship + Career, and Health.

It includes summaries from books like:

• The Four-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss
• Atomic Habits by James Clear
• Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki
• Love For Imperfect Things by Haemin Sunim
• Deep Work by Cal Newport
• How Not To Die by Dr. Michael Greger and Gene Stone
• And, many more!

Worried you won’t get the full learnings with just a summary? You can always refer the full book later if you need to. But, more often than not, you just need to start. You just need to take the first step and apply the key concepts. 

If you’ve already come across some of these books, that’s great. This audiobook offers a refresher on the key takeaways, and a chance for you to start applying those principles again (because everyone falls off the wagon sometimes and needs a gentle reminder to get back on).

You’ll learn things like:

• How to grow your wealth by optimizing each step in the “personal finance ladder
• The most common eating routines of centenarians (so you too can live to be 100!)
• How to reduce stress and burnout by picking the right things to focus on
• A simple trick to deal with distractions while you work so you don’t get derailed
• Why “follow your passion” is bad advice (and what you should do instead)
• A mindset that can improve your relationship with anyone

No matter where you are in your journey, The Self-Improvement Almanac offers an unmatched guide for achieving your full potential.
