When to use it

Reach for Book in brief when you want to teach your audience something they can use straight away and make a post people save and come back to. Its structure is point of view: where you think your field is heading. Give Postora your topic and it keeps the shape, writing every slide about your subject in your voice.

What each slide does

  1. 1Hook

    Opening: the book and how short this summary is.

    In the example

    “The Slow Inbox” in eight slides

    Book in brief

    280 pages on working with fewer interruptions.

  2. 2Point

    The book’s argument in one sentence.

    In the example

    Attention is spent in minutes, not hours.

    The argument

    And every interruption costs a handful of them.

  3. 3Point

    Key idea 1, in your own words.

    In the example

    Batch your replies

    01

    Two inbox windows a day, not forty glances.

  4. 4Point

    Key idea 2.

    In the example

    Make slow the default

    02

    Tell people when you reply, and they stop expecting instant answers.

  5. 5Point

    Key idea 3.

    In the example

    Protect one morning

    03

    One meeting-free half day a week did more than any app the author tried.

  6. 6Quote

    A line from the book (only words the author provided).

    In the example

    Urgent is usually someone else’s plan for your morning.

  7. 7List

    Who should read it.

    In the example

    This one is for you if

    Read it if

    • You check email before breakfast
    • Your calendar has no white space
    • You end busy days unsure what you did

  8. 8Call to action

    Ask for the next book to summarise.

    Which book should I sum up next?

    Next read?
