Becoming a great entrepreneur is all about a willingness to learn more and accept what you don't know. That's why it's so important that entrepreneurs read. But when you're running a business and balancing a personal life, it's not always easy to commit to your book list.

Fortunately, you've got hacks for everything, and Four Minute Books is your hack for your reading list. This clever service distills entire books into summaries or audio clips, allowing you to get the gist of many books and derive the most valuable lessons without having to spend weeks reading a book.

Four Minute Books includes more than 1,000 book summaries in easy-to-read, downloadable PDF format so you can read even when you're not on WiFi. You can also download all books in MP3 format so you can listen on your podcast app of choice.

In addition to the summaries, you'll also get a copyable, customizable Evernote notebook with editable versions of book summaries so you can take notes for yourself. There's also a 20-page PDF that will help you remember what you read, 10 more science-sourced reading guides, a free copy of The 4 Minute Millionaire, and a free copy of 2-Minute Pep Talks, filled with 67 short messages of inspiration.
