P.S. Have you read the book already?
If you did, it would mean a lot if you left a review on Amazon.
Amazon reviews are largely how people choose what to buy these days. And by sharing your honest opinion, you'd help someone decide if the book is for them or not.
Thank you!

It's the book I've been wanting to write for the longest time. And it's the one I'm most proud of. If you've ever felt like the year just slipped...
This month in our Second Brain Membership, we're tackling one of the biggest reasons Second Brains get cluttered: capturing too much. It's easy to fall into the trap of saving everything that seems interesting. But more notes don't mean more clarity. They mean more noise, more overwhelm, and a system you stop trusting. We're going to fix that by helping you define what's actually worth capturing, so your Second Brain stays focused on what matters most. Here's what we'll work on in the weekly...
I've been hinting at this for a while. Now it's official. The AI Second Brain is coming. It's a new live cohort that I'm teaching personally, running from April 15 to May 1. Here's the idea: your notes, your files, and your hard-won knowledge are already valuable. But with the right system wrapped around them, they become a system for compounding knowledge. I’ve been teaching people how to build such systems for a decade now, but AI has utterly changed how quickly, effectively, and easily you...
