In addition to commenting on what you think of the summary, it would be interesting to get feedback on how useful you think these sorts of summaries are. On one hand, I think in reading my summary you can, in a single sitting, get 90+ percent of what you’d get from reading the 200+ page book. The persuasion principles are also applied to animal activism, adding a new angle to the original book. On the other hand, how much is actually being gained here? Will the people that read this summary be people that already know this stuff? Should I bother writing more?
I’d be really keen for people to reflect on these questions, because I’ve considered contracting people to write more summaries of important books.
