Summaries, Notes and Lessons from Books I’ve Read

Books have been a fantastic tool for improving my life. I've seen a few other bloggers publish book notes and I decided it was a great way for me to share knowledge from what I've been reading.

Each summary contains quotes I enjoyed, notes on important sections and ratings to save you time reading through the book or to give you enough of a taste that you decide to read the book yourself.

These are deliberately concise, as I use them to help jog my memory on the concepts and important points the book covers. If you've read the book then you can also use them to jog your memory.
