🎙️ Your Favorite Books, Told by Your Favorite Voices

Headway and Blinkist can feel robotic or monotone. Not here.

We turn world-famous self-help books into podcast-style stories, narrated by voices you actually want to listen to — like Emma Watson, Tom Holland, or a Morgan Freeman-style narrator.

🧠 Not an App. A Shortcut.

No subscriptions. No endless scrolling. Just one powerful bundle with the best lessons from 100+ books 

You get instant access to all audio files and summaries. No login gates, no fluff.

🗣️ Podcast-Style With Humor and Dialogue

This isn’t a boring audiobook or AI voice-over. Shortcut Stories feels more like a conversation — with metaphors, banter, and energy.

Think Joe Rogan meets TED Talk, but for productivity, habits, mindset, and success.

It’s not a summary. It’s a story.
