Overview

Actionable Books Summaries help you put ideas from leading business books into action in your life in five minutes or less. Each Summary is two pages in length and provides you with:

A brief overview on the book, giving you the “flavour” of the book and helping you determine if its content would be beneficial for you. . One great idea from the book (The “Golden Egg”) Certain books may have 12 great ideas, but our goal is to start you off with one. Two concrete ways you can apply the Golden Egg today. We call these the “GEMs” of the summary, and each one can be implemented in your life in 5 minutes or less.

We’ll send you a new summary each week, so you can improve your communication skills incrementally. Imagine the difference that one small behaviour or attitude change each week could make on your ability to communicate more effectively.

“The Actionable Books summaries are like my weekly ‘booster shot’ – for both personal and professional growth. I’m learning new strategies with practical (and often immediate) application. It’s a quick read over morning coffee – and well worth it! I’m on the weekly newsletter. Thanks AB!”
