Become a speed reader instantly with Headway app

TL;DR: Mashable readers can get a Headway Premium lifetime subscription for $47.99 with code LEVELUP20 during our spring sale (reg. $299.95).

Guess what? It’s already March, which means my New Year’s resolution to read more books is officially a bust since my total is zero. I just don’t understand how people can get a second wind after work to read several chapters, let alone finish something cover to cover. Then, I learned about Headway.

The Headway app is like CliffsNotes for books. Now, that’s something I could actually get on board with…summaries of books instead of the intimidation of a 300-page book (which I’ll never open). During Mashable’s spring sale, a lifetime subscription to Headway is only $47.99 when you use our code LEVELUP20 at checkout (reg. $59.99).

This app will change the way you think about reading

I don’t normally like paying for apps, but I’m okay with it this time since it’s a one-time purchase. And, apparently, Headway adds new books all the time, so the content shouldn’t get stale.

There are thousands of book summaries available on pretty much every topic, though they’re almost all nonfiction. You can select categories like boost intelligence, lead a healthy lifestyle, and achieve life balance to get book recommendations from the app.

Start with a title like How to Stop Worrying and Start Living. And if you prefer audiobooks or podcasts to old-school reading, yes, the app also lets me listen to storiesinstead of sitting and reading. In only 17 minutes, I’ve read more than I have all year.

This book summary app even makes it possible to read or listen to entire books over my lunch break, during my commute to work, or while I’m folding laundry. If you like the idea of ‘read 100 books in 2025,’ then you may want to try this app, too.

Join me in developing better reading habits with Headway. Use code LEVELUP20 at the Mashable Shop to get a lifetime subscription for $47.99 (reg. $299.95).
