Personally, I hate reading books. They bore me to death. I feel that most of them run around in circles to prove one single point and that deviates me from the point itself. Moreover, I have a busy schedule that doesn't allow me to spend days reading one book only to find out that it doesn't work for me or make sense to me.
So, I found this brilliant hack on Instagram to use Chat GPT to read books quickly. Please note that it's not a supplement to reading the whole book but who cares man. 😂
I use it to go through books that:
- I don't want or have time to read
- I don't want to buy 🤑
- I want to buy but not without going through its summary
Do This
For this blog, I am taking an example from one of my favorite books, The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.
[1] Go to chat GPT and enter the following prompt:
Write me a detailed summary of the book - [Insert Book Name]
or
Write me a chapter-wise summary of the book - [Insert Book Name]
BOOM!!!
Now you have the complete summary of the book containing all the juicy points you must pay attention to. You can ask Chat GPT to explain these points with examples if you want to go deeper.
[2] Let's go ahead one step further and enter the following prompt:
Write 10 key lessons from the book - [Insert Book Name]
...and BOOM!!!
[3] One more step, enter this prompt:
Rewrite each lesson under 20 words
BOOM!!!
[4] This is a bonus step. You can skip it if you want to. Go to Canva and create a poster of the top 10 lessons from your favorite book. Print it and hang it on your wall. xD
