Why read Successful Aging as a summary?

Reading summaries of books instead of the full version has become a very popular idea during the last couple of years around the world. The game changer was when various companies started to craft quality summaries, which made them easily available for everyone to enjoy. One of the most famous companies in this business is Blinkist, which craft high quality book summaries which you can both read and listen to in a very nice app. Reading book summaries saves you from reading the whole non-essential background information, introductions, long explanations and other personal comments. The benefit with summaries are therefore that they bring out what the most important issues and concepts are in the whole text, such as major findings, conclusions and recommendations.

Successful Aging is available as a book summary via various companies that craft quality summaries. See our review of the best ones by pressing the button below!

“I always struggled to read a full book, because I got so sick of reading all the fluff in between the actual take aways. Reading book summaries really eliminates this problem and I go through several books a day. Thanks!”
