Sara Carey once said, “Never mistake knowledge for wisdom. One helps you make a living; the other helps you make a life.”

Keeping her words in mind, we believe that the ultimate goal of reading books is not just to gain information, but also to use what we learn in order to better understand ourselves and the world—to improve our lives.

If you want books to add value to your life, then the Insightful Reader website is here to help you. Insightful Reader offers book summaries, analyses and other reading materials that invite you to learn what you need from the books; to think about the world and where you want to be in this world; to transform your knowledge into wisdom and make a life and not just a living.
