About the book

How many times have you tried to remember something important and felt it slip through your grasp?

How often have you struggled to recall even one useful takeaway from a book or article you read?

How much time have you wasted looking for a document or file you were sure you saved?

If your first thought was, \u201cThis happened to me today!\u201d then you\u2019re not alone.

The sheer amount of information flooding our brains every day is overwhelming.

Information Overload has long since become Information Exhaustion, taxing our mental resources and leaving us constantly anxious that we\u2019re forgetting something.

Yet, information is\xa0the fundamental building block of everything we do.

Anything you want to accomplish, from executing a project at work to getting a new job, learning a new skill, and starting a business, requires finding and putting the right information to use.

Your professional success and quality of life directly depend on your ability to manage the information around you

Now, it\u2019s time to acknowledge that\xa0we can\u2019t \u201cuse our head\u201d to store everything we need to know, and outsource the job of remembering to technology.

This is where a Second Brain comes in.

To make effective use of information, we need to package it up and make it accessible for our future self.

Building a Second Brain is a way to\xa0cultivate a growing body of knowledge that is uniquely your own\u2026

So when the opportunity arises \u2014 whether that\u2019s giving a big presentation, launching a new product, or starting a business or a family\u2026

You\u2019ll have access to the wisdom you need to make sound decisions and take the most effective action.
