Summary of Tiago Forte's Building a Second Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I began to experience a small pain in the back of my throat one spring day during my junior year of college. It gradually got worse over the next few months, and I began to visit other doctors. They all concluded there was nothing wrong with me. Yet my pain continued getting worse and worse, with no remedy in sight. #2 I realized that I was at a crossroads. I could take responsibility for my own health and treatment, or I would spend the rest of my life shuttleing back and forth between doctors without ever finding resolution. I took out my journal and began to write out my health history. #3 I began to realize that the simple act of taking notes on a computer was the tip of an iceberg. Because notes were digital, they could be shaped and directed to any purpose. I began using digital notetaking in other parts of my life. #4 I began taking notes on everything I was learning using a notetaking app on my computer. I took notes during meetings, on phone calls, and while doing research online. I wrote down facts gleaned from research papers that could be used in the slides we presented to clients.
