Why Wise Words?

In the busy modern world it’s hard to find time to read books, so we’re offering you the next best thing – book summaries.

Unlike most book summary websites, we offer a solution to this problem. We make the key ideas from all the books we read actionable, because the best way to make something stick is to act on it, embed it into your life and make it a habit.

We encourage you to revisit our notes every so often to remind yourself of the key ideas that each book offers!
