Entrepreneurs love to espouse the benefits of reading. For one, books provide a fresh set of ideas and perspectives that can be implemented in their personal and professional lives. On top of that, reading often keeps the mind sharp and makes one a better communicator. However, we’ll be the first to admit that reading a book in the traditional sense can be hard to find time for.

Luckily, the future of reading lies in technology, and technology is all about making our lives more convenient. For example, people are starting to use platforms like Instagram Stories and even toys to deliver books in innovative ways. Simply finding time is one of the biggest hurdles when it comes to reading, but another bit of technology, 12min, solves this with short, digestible micro books that you can consume whenever your schedule allows. 

If you sign up for a 12min lifetime subscription, you’ll get access to an ever-expanding library of micro books, including top titles like Blink, The 4-Hour Workweek, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and more for $59.

12min’s digital library features over 1,800 books that have been expertly curated and synthesized into bite-sized summaries that you can read within 12 minutes. That makes it easy to explore new theories and perspectives in self-development, science, and technology in record time. Each micro book can be accessed in either text or audio form, sent to your Kindle account, and downloaded for future offline reading. 

The 12min team adds 30 new books to its massive library each month; if you somehow don’t find what you’re looking for, you can suggest titles for the 12min team to break down into micro books in the future.

With 4.7 out of 5 stars from over 2,300 reviews on the App Store and 4.7 with over 29,000 reviews on the Google Play Store, 12min is a fan favorite. Download the app today and get a lifetime premium subscription to the 12min Micro Book Library for 85% off.
