Blinkist condenses popular nonfiction books – including New York Times best-sellers – into manageable 15-minute summaries (called Blinks) for easy reading or listening.

Here are five tips for building a reading routine and retaining more knowledge with Blinkist.

Revisit and reflect on the ideas and quotes that resonate by saving them as Highlights. You’ll find the pearls of wisdom you’ve saved in your Library.

When you need a quick reset, head to the Shorts tab. In just a minute or two, you can pick up a new idea or perspective – perfect for when you’re waiting in line or brewing coffee.

Fit learning into wind-down time or dog walks by switching to audio mode. Tap the Play icon on any Blink to have it read aloud, and download episodes for offline listening if you’re on the go. You can also set a sleep timer or adjust the playback speed to move through insights a little faster.

Looking to dive into something meatier? Go with a Guide. These structured learning paths feel like a mini-course (topics include “Learn About Neurohacking” and “Stop Being Boring”), and they’re thoughtfully curated so each idea builds on the next.

A social hub designed to turn what you’re learning into a conversation, the Spaces feature is a way to save and share ideas with friends. Head to the Library tab to create a new Space and start building on insights with others.
