Book summary days are the worst writing days.

Why's that? Too many branch books? Or do you just dislike reading those due to the fluff (easier to summarize since just the one idea)?

I’m summarising Range, and it’s really annoying to grok the argument, since Epstein buries it under a mountain of story.

I'm amazed at how much writing you get done at night 🙃 I can't even understand myself after 6pm

Do you have a process that you follow? Or is each one unique?
My summaries are just the main takeaways. Then I expound upon some of those ideas in separate blog posts.
I'm a big fan of yours tho. Clearly a lot of thought and effort goes into them. Keep it up 👍

I do each one differently! Depends on the structure of the book. This particular one is annoyingggg.

Would be nice to see you go meta and write about writing these summaries.
You’re one of few who go into detail about the arguments of the author and do in-depth work to weigh it in if valid or not. Would definitely be of value + knowing how you overcome the hassle to do it 🙌
