    WOW! This was not what I expected 😅
    I Tried Blinkist App For 30 days - Honest Blinkist Review / For years, I have seen people on social media telling us what is Blinkist app and recommending it, but I never believed it could be that amazing. After all, it's just another personal development app, so I never even googled "is Blinkist good?" I preferred to read the actual books.
    But now I've seen so many self-help books repeat the same stuff again and again, so I realized I needed to do something to stop wasting time. It's finally time to do a 30-day Blinkist app review to figure out how does Blinkist work and is Blinkist worth it.
    This video is again another episode in my own self-care journey that I'm sharing with you guys. Hope you enjoy it!

    We're late to the party, but we just had to say how impressed we are with your review, Seve! If you're still using Blinkist, you may have noticed that your feedback has been heard. Now, after finishing each Blink, users can rate it and let us know if they think we missed something from the original book.

      If I can add a feedback, the app is missing a button to play all saved items... I spent hours choosing books, saving them in my library, only to realize that to listen to them I need to open one by one, or add then one by one in the listening queue 🙈
      So a 'play all button' and/or ' add all to the queue' and or a select option would save so many clicks... I am thinking that's probably the biggest reason I stopped using blinkist.

    Great video! You put a lot of effort into it and structured it very well. Thank you for sharing with us.
    I’m currently trying out Blinkist, but to be completely honest, it feels a little bit like cheating. Also, my FOMO is really high, but you reduced it, by showing that Blinkist’s summary was comparable to your in-depth one.
    Still, I feel like listening to so many books in such little time reduces the value of each book, it’s less rewarding to have finally made it through.
    I’m excited to see how I’ll like Blinkist in the future 😅

    • @SunnyKindJourney
      @SunnyKindJourney  Před rokem +3

      Thank you for the comment, Felix! 🙌 Now after a few months, I've often realized that it's so much about how well you listen: are you ready to learn or just in the "zombie" mode and having the book in the background. Reading the script & taking notes helps a lot!
      I wouldn't recommend listening to one book a day, if you really want to learn and improve your life. After this 30-day experiment, I have focused so much more on quality than quantity and it has worked well! Some books I've even listened to twice. If you feel you like some summary very much, I would highly consider buying a copy of it too ✌

    • @SunnyKindJourney
      @SunnyKindJourney  Před 10 měsíci +1

      Good question! They do but it costs double ($13 per month) and it doesn't come with a free trial. So my recommendations would be to use my discount link in the description that includes a free trial and drops the yearly price down to $59.99. In case you don't like it, you can just cancel it before the trial ends and if you do, you will get more bang for your buck than paying $13 every month 😊 Hope this helps!
