Building a Second Brain

There is some very useful advice here for how to better keep and organize bits of information, but there's also lots of filler.

I chose this book because of its title, as I'm an avid user of Obsidian Notes & Obsidian refers to creating your second brain. Knowing that Forte wasn't discussing Obsidian as such, I was hoping to get some valuable ideas to apply to note-taking. Overall I was disappointed. But on the positive side, I did finish the book as much as I was tempted to call it quits.

Actually useful

Self help books are hit or miss, with a lot of misses and pompous practitioners. This has already made a difference and helped me quiet my scattered mind. I'm looking forward to growing with it and seeing what becomes possible.
