Too Many Books,

  • 📖 One short book per week.
  • 🔎 Curated evergreen books for maximum impact.
  • 🚀 A clear path to self-improvement paved by the right titles.

FAQ

Who is Leanbooks for?

Leanbooks is for busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and lifelong learners who want to read with purpose, build a habit, and grow smarter – without the overwhelm of choosing what to read next.

It’s perfect for you if:

You struggle to stay consistent with reading and want a clear, structured plan.

You feel overloaded with information and want a curated list of books that actually matter.

You want to improve your mindset, productivity, and decision-making through reading.

You prefer action over theory – Leanbooks selects books that help you apply knowledge, not just collect it.

If you’ve ever wished you could read more, retain more, and get real value from books, Leanbooks gives you the roadmap to make it happen.

Do I receive the actual books?

No. Leanbooks is not a book subscription service. Instead, we provide a curated reading plan that guides you to read the most impactful books without wasting time on research.

To read the books, you can purchase them from your preferred platform, whether that’s:

📚 Amazon (the largest selection)

📖 Your local bookstore

⚠️ Important! 📲 While audiobooks can be entertaining, passively listening does not provide the same value as actively reading. The Leanbooks roadmap is built on the principle of deep engagement with books, ensuring you absorb, reflect, and apply what you learn. True growth comes from active reading, not just passive consumption.

What do I get when I purchase Leanbooks?

When you purchase Leanbooks, you receive:

✅ A curated list of 52 books designed for maximum impact. That’s one book that you can read most often in a hour fit to fill out the weeks of an entire year.

✅ A structured reading roadmap to help you stay on track.

Instant access via email, so you can start immediately.

Please note: Leanbooks provides the structured plan, not the books themselves.

Can I follow the Leanbooks plan at my own pace?

Yes! While Leanbooks is designed for one book per week, you can read at your own speed. The key is having a structured plan that keeps you engaged and helps you stay consistent.

What types of books are included?

The Leanbooks selection includes books that are:

📖 Highly actionable – so you can apply what you learn.

💡 Focused on self-improvement – covering productivity, mindset, focus, and decision-making.
