I just spent about $800.00 bucks
 

and its probably the best eight hundred bucks any businessman will spend.


I was actually having lunch with a business associate when I brought up the fact that I wanhted to hire some colledge students at like $8 or $9 bucks an hour to read business books or self improvement books for me and summarize the most important parts so that I can absorb and consume as much educational information as humanly possible when he turned me on to this amazing service http://www.summary.com/cgi-bin/Sound...e/Catalog/1522


....I purchased 145 business book summaries in audio format.

Hi Marty!

How are you today?

Jon

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


you bought 145 of them ? ? ? ? lol!!

how long are each?

Marty you make me hard.

Ya, how can you go wrong?


The more information the better, no?

Money well spent! :thumbsup

HAHHHAHAHAAA...your fuckin crazy.

sure, but that kind of information is not for everyone , maybe you dont like that format ? it seems better to first test out the format and then buy lots of em ,

heh well have fun with that

I figure i can put on headphone and go walking while i educate my dumbass.

I like being effecient, you know, kill two donkeys with one harpoon.

I'll look through the list :thumbsup

wow I like the idea, i'm the kind of guy who only needs the meaty parts too

Marty let me borrow them after your done :)

Quality, not quantity.

Even in business.

not a problem.

Can you email me the books? :winkwink:

Wonder how this would work though, isn't it against the copyrights? Or does the publisher/author get a cut of each sale?

How are the summaries? Say a 200 page book, how many pages do they summarize it to?

I disagree...its mathematics, quantity equals more money.

It defeats the purpose of gaining quality knowledge from reading them yourself....not the same if you read them or have someone else read them for you....its like saying, you go to school for me and show me what you've been thaught

if you combine all the general knowledge from all the books, you will develop your own style. you will be able to compare the different point of views. i think its a great idea

I'm something of a book freak myself....I love biz books on audio to listen to while in the car or walking or whatever.

The only problem is that business books are like diet books, every single author disagrees with almost everything every other author says.

If you listen to 145 of them you might end up more confused than you were when you started....LOL

Not necessarily.....its kind of like watching headline news on CNN.
You get the biggest stories of the day shortened into half an hour.

That's all most of us need to stay informed, as opposed to spending 6 hours watching every news interview show and reading all the major newspapers.

Obviously you'll learn more by reading every book cover to cover, but most of us don't have that time and its better to learn the major points than nothing at all.

I disagree..why waste your time reading the extras when you can get the bullet points and then take it from there.

Well, you would just take bits and pieces of each one and use what you like and discard what you don't like or what you don't think will work for you.

I feel the same way.

I haven't read many books especially on business where there was a whole book filled with valuable information. Why waste your time when you can get the information that counts and not have to read thru the garbage filler?

The only good thing about reading the entire book is if you don't understand something, you can get more examples or a more in depth explanation...but I guess that's what Google's for

We will see soon

Now there is a Smart idea :1orglaugh

Ther is really no substitute in reading a nice book for yourself.

enjoy them :thumbsup

You actually bough 145 audio-books, wtf....*gez*

That's the lazyest way to learn ! :d

i guess i will be a lazy smart guy :)
