In a supersaturated world dominated by the fickle whims of the internet and the constant need to be going there and doing that, it can be exceedingly difficult to sit down and just read a book. This can be an especially irritating problem if you're really trying to expand your horizons or make further strides in your career. You can't always spend time reading entire books, so the people at 12min began distilling books down for you.
