De: Tiago Forte, Tiago Forte - introduction

Narrado por: André Santana

“One of my favorite books of the year. It completely reshaped how I think about information and how and why I take notes.” —Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive

A revolutionary approach to enhancing productivity, creating flow, and vastly increasing your ability to capture, remember, and benefit from the unprecedented amount of information all around us.

For the first time in history, we have instantaneous access to the world’s knowledge. There has never been a better time to learn, to contribute, and to improve ourselves. Yet, rather than feeling empowered, we are often left feeling overwhelmed by this constant influx of information. The very knowledge that was supposed to set us free has instead led to the paralyzing stress of believing we’ll never know or remember enough.

Now, this eye-opening and accessible guide shows how you can easily create your own personal system for knowledge management, otherwise known as a Second Brain. As a trusted and organized digital repository of your most valued ideas, notes, and creative work synced across all your devices and platforms, a Second Brain gives you the confidence to tackle your most important projects and ambitious goals.

Discover the full potential of your ideas and translate what you know into more powerful, more meaningful improvements in your work and life by Building a Second Brain.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"After productivity guru Tiago Forte delivers his succinct introduction with the low-key self-assurance of a true expert, narrator André Santana delivers a performance that perfectly fits this audiobook. His boyish tone and palpable altruism express the author’s ideas with intellectual security that highlights Santana’s thinking and suggestions without overselling them. The author’s ingenious principles show how the desire to create can be harnessed and expressed with the help of the digital tools available today. His memorable prescriptions show how to capture and organize information, distill key takeaways, and link useful ideas to specific projects you’re working on. Powered by the empathic performances of both narrators, these are seminal operating principles and tech recommendations for creative people who want to streamline and refresh their creative process."

Amazing system

This is a great book and a great system.
It will take your productivity to a whole new level if you are going to use it.
I've been searching for many years for a sustainable system that will help my future self use the concepts that I learn and understand today, and this is it!

Ill listen to this book more than once

This is an amazing introduction to a program I have followed but couldnt afford for years. I have awaited eagerly for this books release and I am grateful for it. For anyone who wants to navigate the information tsunami we live in this is a great guide. I have implemented 75% of everything already in this book but its the 25% I had not yet seen that will make me listen to this a second time.
I have excellent informational organization skills but have always been stuck at expressing myself clearlt and consistently on subjects I am passionate about. This book has helped me overcome those challenges and after reading and absorbing the parts on execution I will most likely join the bext cohort class to join an amazing community of thought leaders and normal people just trying to find their voice like me. Cant over emphasize the value this book has for everyone

Great intro to successful digital note taking.

If you've ever struggled to take meaning full and effective notes, or just organize your thoughts, then this is the book for you.

Highly Recommend!! Enjoyable Narration

Fantastic presentation of a stellar topic
The second brain concept is one of those philosophies that come along and make an impact on anyone who is willing to invest a little time to learn and practice. It can be applied to the most advanced research or the simplest project. Your field, your walk of life, your experience level does not matter. It is a concept that you build to suit your needs and use case. The book is laid out smartly with easy to understand steps to be successful. Thiago Forte brings his words to life with useful tips, anecdotes, and insightful steps to begin. It is an easy read that is not about sounding academic but practical language to teach you his methods of development. This is one of those books you read 2 or 3 times and discover something new as your perceptions grow.

Change how you think about notes

I loved the approach the author takes in terms of how you should think about note taking.

Instead of notes being ideas you jot down and never look at again, Tiago’s approach makes them become a living part of your daily life.

Not only does it change how you think about taking notes, I think it will also help the quality of the notes you take so that they become more valuable to you.

Recommend highly!
