    From the founders

    First post from Founder

    Hey Sumo-lings!

    Farid here, founder of StoryShots.

    When I was 16, I suffered from performance anxiety for months. One day, I walked into a bookstore and a bestselling self-help book sitting on the shelf caught my eye. I grabbed it on the spot and started to put the lessons into practice. Two weeks later, I was a different person: more confident, energetic and calm.

    But similar transformations happened again.

    I was the second “laziest” student of my class as an undergraduate. One day I failed an exam and could not convince the professor to make an exception. I went home with my head down thinking “I’m better than this”. As I’m passing my brother’s bedroom, a little book on his bedpost catches my eye. It was a book full of short productivity and life tips by Brian Tracy. I sat down and plowed through the book. I started putting the lessons into practice. I started consuming more similar books. This propelled me to the top of the class in the second half of my studies and the graduate school later on.

    Fast-forward to 2015, another book recommended by my mentor and business partner, Tim Ferriss, opened the doors to the world of meditation for me and pulled me out of depression.

    What all these three books had in common, was that they were short and practical. But over the years, I realized that I kept buying books that I couldn’t finish. My guilt grew as tall as my stack of unfinished books and list of audiobooks.

    I needed a way to learn what was important in a book before finding and dedicating 10 hours reading it. I longed for a solution to screen for exciting relevant reads. The wisdom hidden in these books was the only help I could afford to get. But what’s the point of purchasing them if I’m not able to learn from them? After talking to my friends and network, I realized I’m not alone!
