"You read from those who put a simple concept into 1000 pages book so they could sell it for more money."

Nah.


There Are 3 Kinds of Books:

  • Books that have no point or solution[ usually written within the last 100 years, won't stand the test of time ]
  • Books that have a point or solution, but do not have their solution refined to a single sentence.
  • Books that can say their single point or solution, and you can get this in one single sentence, optimally before you open the book.
  • The rest of the book works outwards and expands upon that point.

Using this process of selection I can take the core of a book in about 60 seconds.

The Best Books Have A Single Understandable Concept You Can Instantly Understand.


The Best Books:

  • You have the solution instantly when you pick up the book.
  • The rest of the book is to gain expertise and mastery of the concept.


I drew an illustration of how the best books look:

  • All good books are this way.
  • All good teachings all this way.
  • All good teachers are this way.

"Know What You Intend To Say."

A Good Book Knows Its Solution.

The Best Books Work From A Center Point Outwards.

💡
If you want to write a good book,

This is how.
Don't write linear chapters, -> 1, -> 2, -> 3, -> 4.

Condense your meaning into a sentence and work outwards from the center point of a circle.
