Overwhelmed by Information? Tiago Forte Recommends Building A Second Brain—February Book Club
Our February Book Club pick focuses on how to wade through the constant influx of information when you feel paralyzed by stress.
“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,” says Tiago Forte, the author of Building A Second Brain.
Daniel Pink calls it one of his favorite books of the year. “It completely reshaped how I think about information and how and why I take notes.” Dealing with overwhelm in business and life is something nearly everyone is struggling with right now, which is why this is our February book pick.
Building A Second Brain: A Proven Method to Organize Your Digital Life and Unlock Your Creative Potential, by Tiago Forte. Book Pick for February 2023.
“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.”
Join us this February 2023 as we read the book.
I’ll be hosting a virtual zoom session to chat about the takeaways from the book and its practical applications on Friday, March 3rd from 3:00pm - 4:00pm eastern. We host a book club conversation the first Friday of the month.
