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.

It’s a chicken-and-egg problem: Restaurants are struggling with record-high U.S. egg prices, but their omelets, scrambles and huevos rancheros may be part of the problem. Breakfast is booming at U.S. eateries. First Watch, a restaurant chain that serves breakfast, brunch and lunch, nearly quadrupled its locations over the past decade to 570. Fast-food chains like Starbucks and Wendy's added more egg-filled breakfast items. In normal times, egg producers could meet the demand. But a bird flu outbreak that has forced them to slaughter their flocks is making supplies scarcer and pushing up prices. Some restaurants like Waffle House have added a surcharge to offset their costs.

The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations.
