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.

Only suggestion I'd make is to get to the point in the book much quicker. The book really starts in chapter 4 or 5. Before chapter 4's ending and chapter 5's beginning I felt like there was plenty of style but the substance was missing. Once chapter 4 started to close out and 5 started, then it really hit me that the book has real substance and insight.
I recently read Dr. Rangan Chatterjee's book Happy Mind, Happy Life and i have found the techniques the Tiago describes in his book that there is a lot of synergy in the two core concepts.
I will be definitely taking on board their guiding principles moving forward.
