De: Tiago Forte

Narrado por: André Santana, Tiago Forte

Discover the full potential of your ideas and make powerful, meaningful improvements in your work and life by Building a Second Brain.

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 create and to improve ourselves. Yet, rather than being empowered by this information, we're often overwhelmed, paralysed by believing we'll never know or remember enough.

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. A trusted and organised digital repository of your most valued ideas, notes and creative work, a Second Brain gives you the confidence to tackle your most important projects and ambitious goals. From identifying good ideas, to organising your thoughts, to retrieving everything swiftly and easily, it puts you back in control of your life and information.

The book is great, but it’s better to read than listen

The book is great, the idea of a second brain superb, and let you with good insights! BUT It gets hards to follow along when listening, I think it’s a book to be read rather than listen.

This book is a must-read for anyone living a busy life. It emphasizes the importance of organizing your information, knowledge, and tasks effectively.

read and repeat

Amazing read, a book to consistently come book and read over and over again can't be distilled all at once

Great Book Teaching a Valuable System

For me PARA and CODE have been invaluable. It has helped me put some structure around the chaos of day-to-day life while simultaneously teaching me that not EVERYTHING is critical and that I need to be firmer in my editing process around tasks, notes, projects, and my personal interests.

It’s helped me create more time which is a great compliment.

My one tiny criticism of the book is that it’s probably an hour too long. Some of the stories could have been edited out because they go on a bit too long and aren’t especially useful in reinforcing the message the book is trying to convey… but that’s a minor gripe.

This is a book you will want to pick up (or listen to) more than once to get maximum value from it.

Very basic, for beginners only

I was expecting more from a book called "building a second brain". the title is misleading in that the book only offers very basic strategies for information management. unless you're an absolute beginner in this area, direct your attention elsewhere.
