“One of my favorite books of the year. It completely reshaped how I think about information and how and why I take notes.” —Daniel Pink, bestselling author of Drive

A revolutionary approach to enhancing productivity, creating flow, and vastly increasing your ability to capture, remember, and benefit from the unprecedented amount of information all around us.

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. 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.

Discover the full potential of your ideas and translate what you know into more powerful, more meaningful improvements in your work and life by Building a Second Brain.

Critic reviews

"After productivity guru Tiago Forte delivers his succinct introduction with the low-key self-assurance of a true expert, narrator André Santana delivers a performance that perfectly fits this audiobook. His boyish tone and palpable altruism express the author’s ideas with intellectual security that highlights Santana’s thinking and suggestions without overselling them. The author’s ingenious principles show how the desire to create can be harnessed and expressed with the help of the digital tools available today. His memorable prescriptions show how to capture and organize information, distill key takeaways, and link useful ideas to specific projects you’re working on. Powered by the empathic performances of both narrators, these are seminal operating principles and tech recommendations for creative people who want to streamline and refresh their creative process."

If you are looking for a way to handle the constant overload of information in your life, this book might be for you. However, BASB is not a quick-fix or one-size-fits-all set of rigid steps to follow that will magically make you organized. It is a way of thinking and and the creation of small habits you build over time. It is incredibly personal and you will have to take the ideas in this book and think about how to apply them to your life.

If you have also read James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” and David Allen’s “GTD”, BASB is the next step in being able to work on your life instead always working in your life.

I had a head start on this but I think it's an amazing resource for anyone who wants to organize notes beyond a single project, to get compounding gains over time.

Great intro to lifelong PKM

I'm a big fan of personal development but often find books in the genre to be to theoretical or contrived. This one was different. The advice is very practical and I appreciated how the author frames things. Definitely recommend for anyone who is interested empowering themselves through the use of digital tools.

Very practical and valuable

While I think that this would be a good run-through for anyone, including those who are already familiar with PARA and the Second Brain principle, this book is especially great as an introduction. I believe that the concept described in this book is nothing short of revolutionary, both for personal productivity, but also for people such as myself who run a ton of projects that are in vastly different sectors/focus areas.

Would love to see it continue to be developed and be part of the community!

I've taken notes for years. The notebooks are piled in the closet. I never had a plan for them, and now I do. thanks Tiango
