Brevity is confidence. Length is fear. This is the guiding principle of Smart Brevity, a communication formula built by Axios journalists to prioritize essential news and information, explain its impact and deliver it in a concise and visual format. Now, the co-founders of Axios have created an essential guide for communicating effectively and efficiently using Smart Brevity.

In SMART BREVITY: The Power of Saying More with Less, Axios co-founders Jim VandeHei, Mike Allen, and Roy Schwartz show you how to say more with less in virtually any format. They also share communications lessons learned from their decades of experience in media, business and communications.

"If getting your message across matters to you, this is the way to do it." - Arianna Huffington, founder and CEO, Thrive

The book had some good tips in it. However, I also found some of it to be a bit redundant and repetitive, which is not ideal when reading a book on brevity. Overall, I would say it's a ok but not worth paying for it. They didn’t waste time in marketing their brevity software. The book didn't blow me away. It's a good book for those looking to improve their writing and communication skills, but there are probably better resources out there.

Real brevity would be shortening this book to one page
