Directives: A Brief Guide on What to Do from The Best in The World

Directive Mock Up (without Shadow)

A while back, I wrote a book summary for Atomic Habits by James Clear and published it for free on my website. 

I found summarizing the book’s key ideas helped me remember and retain the book’s key ideas. 

Plus, I got many emails from readers telling me how much they benefited from my summary. 

So, I continued with other nonfiction books I read, not knowing what would come from publishing my work online…

Since then, I’ve published over 135 book summaries of the best non-fiction books of all time across several categories.

It’s why more than 100,000 people read my book summaries each month. And why I currently rank in Google above massive Internet companies like CliffsNotes, Get Abstract, and Blinkist for book summaries:

Position 1 for Book Summaries

While book summaries serve their purpose and can introduce you to life-changing books, I knew I could do more. I didn’t want readers to buy a book only to forgo reading it. I wanted to inspire them to take action.

And that’s why I wrote Directives.

About the Book

Directives is a distillation of the best ideas from ninety-five of the best non-fiction books of all time, rewritten as directives—bite-sized instructions telling you what to do (and when and how to do it).

In it, you’ll learn:

  • The #1 way to manage people (Directive #6)
  • What NEVER to do when building a sellable company (Directive #12)
  • “The Apple Test”: Directive #43 reveals how to know if you’re hungry (and what to do about it)
  • A simple but little-known way to get ahead of your competition (Directive #64)
  • A research-backed way to feel better about yourself (Directive #87)

And much more.
