“Brian Johnson's PhilosophersNotes are one of the most incredible tools available to the busy professional with a fundamental interest in self-improvement. Brian's depth of personal growth experience shines through in his accurate, concise and self-revealing synopses of many of the greatest self-help books of our time. You feel like you're sitting in the living room of a great mind as he shares the ten biggest ideas from each book, highlighted quotes, and his own astute commentary. It takes me about 5 minutes to go through a Note, after which I always have 2-3 insightful gems which I can apply to my own life, and often the heartfelt yearning to read the entire book myself. Now that they're here, I can't imagine keeping up on the world of self-help literature without PhilosophersNotes.” ~ Brent Kessel, Author, "It's Not About the Money"; President, Abacus Wealth Partners
