If you’ve got 15 minutes, Headway Premium can get you up to speed on the concepts of a book. Choose between reading and listening to professionally narrated audio summaries of best-selling nonfiction books, depending on your mood, and start learning new concepts daily on topics ranging from personal development and business strategies to health and wellness.

Over 15 million people are already using Headway to learn key ideas and insights from books in their spare time. There are more than 2,000 summaries already on the app, and new ones are added every month.

You can set your own self-growth plan, and a gamified learning process makes things more fun. Test yourself with quizzes and trivia, and earn streaks and track your progress to keep your learning going. You can also highlight and save the best insights you learn from summaries and turn them into interactive flashcards to keep them top of mind.

While this may not replace reading the entire book cover to cover, it’s a great way to dive into new topics and see what you’d like to explore further. You can also download summaries for offline access so you can keep learning even when you’re on the go.

Get this lifetime subscription to Headway Premium for just $39.99 (reg. $299.95) with code SUMMARY20, the best price online, now through Jan. 31.
