With concise summaries of best-selling nonfiction books, Headway is the go-to app for self-growth – one micro-lesson at a time. Here are three often overlooked features that’ll help you make the most of your learning:


Stay motivated with daily lessons when you join any of Headway’s curated challenges.

Take on a challenge

With the app’s challenges, you’ll find a curated learning path for specific self-improvement topics. Join a 20-day Modern Parenting challenge or a 14-day Self-Confidence one, for example. Each day, you’ll read (or listen to) lessons from a different book to earn trophies. Don’t be intimidated – while some challenges last over a month, some are as few as five days.


Tap Remember to save an insight from a summary.

Learn in a flash

Want an insight you’ve just read to really stick? Turn it into a flash card! It’s as simple as tapping the Remember button. To revisit your flash cards, go to the app’s Repetition section.
