The mission that drives us

Often, book summaries are perceived as tools for successful executives who, due to time constraints, seek an efficient way to broaden their knowledge. Yet, what about the ambitious student in the dormitory, nurturing their entrepreneurial dreams? Or the caregiver in a nursery who, despite their lack of English proficiency, wants to improve traditional early childhood education methods? What about the busy delivery driver aspiring to learn new sales skills to transition into marketing? We believe that the desire to learn is a universal human trait. Given the right environment and opportunities, this inherent love for knowledge can blossom, paving the way for a harmonious society that values learning and human dignity. Tia Sách is committed to connecting Vietnamese readers with knowledge, fostering such a compassionate society .

Non-fiction books are a rich source of current scientific research and updated information. Although the global book market is vibrant, it can take years for a book to be translated and reach Vietnamese readers. Our book summaries bridge this gap, delivering the latest insights from the most influential, recently published books. Explore our new book collection here.

As a socially-conscious initiative, we're dedicated to providing readers with a broader understanding of societal issues. We present a curated selection of books that address pressing social themes. You're invited to read them here.

While our focus is primarily on the Vietnamese community, we've designed our platform to be bilingual, catering to an international audience and aiding Vietnamese readers in their pursuit of English proficiency. Additionally, recognizing the preference of some Vietnamese readers to engage with summaries in the original language of the books (mainly English), we decided to publish the English version of the summaries.

Our Principles for Crafting Content

Respect for Knowledge

Our summaries are created and translated professionally, adhering to stringent procedures. Throughout our process, we prioritize the respect for the original author's ideas and maintaining our role as the conduit of knowledge.

Reader Empathy

We believe content needs to be not only accurate but also engaging, relatable, and accessible for our Vietnamese readers. We acknowledge the value of your time, ensuring that every word merits your attention.

Most recent knowledge

To keep pace with the global publishing rhythm, Tia Sách is dedicated to featuring the newest and highest-quality books. We also focus on timeless literature that continues to influence and remains relevant.

Diverse Perspectives

Each book encapsulates unique research, ideas, and viewpoints. We strive to curate high-value content from various domains, presenting diverse perspectives for readers to reflect upon and develop their own ideas.

Depth Over Breadth

We maintain that a deep understanding of a single, impactful book is more valuable than a superficial knowledge of numerous mediocre books. We select exceptional books and create comprehensive summaries with detailed explanations and examples.

Positive Experience

The journey of creating, reading, and sharing knowledge should be enlightening, captivating, and enjoyable. We endeavor to provide a positive experience and a collaborative learning environment for the Tia Sách content community and all our readers.

The greater our pool of knowledge, the more questions we raise, the more problems we solve. The thirst for knowledge is the cornerstone of a humane society. We at Tia Sách are here to kindle this flame of passion for knowledge within everyone, fostering a community that champions learning and knowledge sharing.

  frequently asked question

Reading book summaries has both advantages and disadvantages compared to reading a full book. Depending on your reading goals and relevant conditions such as time and financial resources, each of us can make our own choice.

Here are some advantages of reading book summaries:

  • You can skip unnecessary information. This is especially useful for books with a few key points or books that are too long and have too much explanation.
  • When you are short on time, book summaries can help you learn about a topic faster. If your purpose of reading is to get an overview of a topic before you choose to delve into the details, then book summaries are a great place to start.
  • Book summaries can help you understand the main messages of a book more deeply. Some books contain a lot of information and lessons that we will need to review several times to fully understand and absorb the main points. In this case, book summaries can help us organize the information and grasp the core concepts. The summary reinforces what we have learned from the book and serves as a reference guide for the main points.

Here are some disadvantages of book summaries:

  • The value of a book is not just about the main points. The author's explanations and specific examples help us think about the content of the book while we are reading. A long book or a book about a profound topic will evoke longer reflection and therefore have a much greater impact than a summary.
  • Book summaries omit subtle details. The main goal of a book summary is to share the main points and key takeaways, so many supporting details will be minimized. And sometimes these subtle details are very interesting and memorable. There are times when the author's quotes, writing style, or humorous descriptions also make the book more appealing, which is difficult to convey through a book summary.
  • When you read a full book, your emotional connection to the book will be higher than when you just read a summary. It will be difficult for us to step into the author's world and imagine the scenes that make up the book.

When you read a full book, your emotional connection to the book will be higher than when you just read a summary. It will be difficult for us to step into the author's world and imagine the scenes that make up the book.

  • Book selection: We collect book suggestions from readers, as well as from world book rankings. We focus on non-fiction books that are outstanding and have a great influence in many different topics.
  • Summary compilation: We compile the summaries in the original language of the book (usually English). We then translate the summaries into Vietnamese. The content is compiled to suit Vietnamese readers under the criteria of respecting the ideas of the author of each book.
  • Content quality: The summaries are all compiled, translated, and proofread by professional collaborators with many years of experience. We ensure high-quality and engaging content.
  • Audio content: Audio content is then built based on the written content.

Non-fiction is a type of literature that is based on facts and reality. It can include a wide range of topics, such as journalism, textbooks, instruction manuals, self-help books, memoirs, and history. Non-fiction books account for a large portion of the global book market. In recent years, sales of non-fiction books have surpassed those of fiction books.

Non-fiction books are a rich source of information, no matter what you are interested in learning about. Whether you want to learn more about yourself or change the world, non-fiction books can help you achieve your goals.

We highly value input from our readers, as it helps us curate a collection that resonates with you. If you have ideas for content or wish to see a specific non-fiction book featured on Tia Sach, your suggestions are welcome. Our editorial team will carefully review each submission and make any necessary edits before proceeding.
