HI! 👋

   

We were tired of overly long books, so we created BookTalks, were we host videos
of authors meaningfully condensing the core ideas of their books. The videos
condense the content, without loosing depth. They will inspire you every Monday
and Thursday, on wide ranging topics from Philosophy to Entrepreneurship, from
Science to Art. Enjoy it as much as we enjoyed the curation.
