DIY Summary

Imagine 2 scenarios In the first one you have just finished reading Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty. It was a great book and you remember that it mentioned a lot of smart things. But you can't remember much of it now as you close the book. Even less a few weeks after. In the second scenario you have just finished the same book. The difference now is that you have a deep understanding for what you have read, structured notes about key takeaways and a great reference for the future. Most people will find themselves in scenario one after finishing a book. This is because there is a big difference between reading a book and really reading a book. We believe that reading is an investment. You spend time with a book because you hope that it will make you happier, healthier, wealthier or smarter. But simply just reading a great book is not enough. You have to understand how the information applies to your life and take notes to help you remember. DIY Summary helps you do just that and makes it easier for you to get value from the books you read.
