Welcome to the WZ book Club.
I'm Jordan Rich. There are so many

2
00:00:03.279 --> 00:00:06.879
connections to books online and it'll make
your head spin. But here's one that

3
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.679
I found pretty interesting recently. It's
called shortform shortform dot com, and the

4
00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:15.679
mission there is to make sense of
the world's information. How do you select

5
00:00:15.679 --> 00:00:19.160
among a seemingly infinite number of books, articles, podcasts, and videos,

6
00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:23.239
or make sense of the myriad of
viewpoints that people have about particular topics.

7
00:00:23.480 --> 00:00:27.039
Short form makes it rather easy to
access ideas from all over the world,

8
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:31.519
striving to put ideas from books in
context and attempting to be completely objective,

9
00:00:31.640 --> 00:00:37.320
presenting ideas clearly and accurately without personal
bias. There's additional analysis that connects ideas

10
00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:40.719
in one book to ideas and others. Now, this is all information about

11
00:00:40.759 --> 00:00:45.119
nonfiction books, but for people with
busy schedules who are determined to learn much

12
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:47.799
more from books than they have time
for, this might be something you want

13
00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:52.079
to look into if you want to
find out more about shortform dot com.

14
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.799
For those who never stop learning,
and that should be all of us,

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:57.960
there are so many great resources out
there, and that's the book Club.
