TL;DR: Start your self-improvement journey with helpful nonfiction summaries from Headway Premium. Lifetime access is on sale for $59.99 with promo code HEADWAY until July 21.


When you start feeling the dread build up as you continue to scroll through social media posts and depressing news, you may begin to wonder if there's something more useful you could be looking at instead. Maybe you've been thinking about ways to improve your communication skills, or how to relax — which we could probably all use, let's be real. 

With over 1,500 quick summaries you can cruise through while you brush your teeth, eat your lunch, or any other time you want to squeeze into your schedule, the Headway Premium app could be just what you're looking for. Through July 21, you can pay just once to access it for life for $44.99 when you enter coupon code HEADWAY.

If you're someone who has the intention of reading but can never find the time to sit down and read a full book, this app can help — although it's not meant to completely replace one. Users can find nonfiction titles that are condensed into 10- to 15-minute reads. Plus, Headway allows you to read, watch, or listen to the content so you can enjoy it the way it makes the most sense for you.

Every month, about 30-50 new titles are added, so you'll never get bored and always have something new to check out. Headway also gamifies your experience by giving you ways to track your progress and earn achievements based on what you've read or listened to!

This deal features a one-time payment that is only available for new users.
