When a topic is complex, stories are like leverage

Stories get diverse people to focus on a single point

Stories can capture and direct attention.

Steven Spielberg said: "The most amazing thing for me is that every single person who sees a movie brings a whole set of unique experiences.

Good stories create hidden opportunities

Rory Sutherland stated that "It seems likely that the biggest progress in the next 50 years may come not from improvements in technology but in psychology and design thinking. Put simply, it’s easy to achieve massive improvements in perception at a fraction of the cost of equivalent improvements in reality."

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Shankul Varada
