Summarize Wisdom

In the old days, we used CliffsNotes. They were black and yellow booklets that summarized famous books. They were very popular because instead of reading and trying to figure out "Hamlet," you could read the booklet and get an expert review of the play in far less time. It was an easier way to understand a challenging classic.

You can do the same things for your grandchildren.

Have you ever read a great book that changed your life? That inspired you to change the way you looked at the world and even changed your behavior? I certainly have. I have tall bookshelf full of them.

Help your grandchildren get the wisdom of those books easier by writing a review or CliffsNotes version of that book. Make it personal and explain how it affected your life.

Writing a summary or a CliffsNotes version is also a great way to help you really learn and remember the key points of any book.

Write a summary of:

"The 7 Habits of Highly Successful People"

"Man's Search for Meaning"

"How to Win Friends and Influence People"

"Atomic Habits"

Seneca said, "While we teach, we learn."

Joseph Joubert said, "To teach is to learn twice."
