“Brian has a gift for communicating the gist of serious books in a fun, inspiring way. He is so consistently and authentically upbeat that one learns to see value in everything he points to. For those who want a focus on the useful, compelling parts of books in a pithy, engaging style, you can do no better than to read Brian Johnson's PhilosophersNotes.” ~ Michael Strong, Co-Founder & CEO/Chief Visionary Officer, FLOW
“Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher, is the sommelier of self-development and an exemplar of what it means to be a Creator. His PhilosophersNotes distills the best of the wisdom literature – both contemporary and timeless – and gives his readers a well-researched taste of the essence of each book. Just like some wine tasters go more for chardonnay, while others prefer a pinot noir, the reader is introduced to a full range of Notes so they can determine which ones they may pursue to further their own learning and development. I raise a toast to Brian and his Notes and his contribution to conscious evolution!” ~ David Emerald, Author, "The Power of TED* (*The Empowerment Dynamic)"






"The third level of wanting is “I commit to being rich.” The definition of the word commit is to “devote oneself unreservedly.” This means holding absolutely nothing back; giving 100 percent of everything you’ve got to achieving wealth. It means being willing to do whatever it takes for as long as it takes. This is the warrior’s way. No excuses, no ifs, no butts, no maybes—and failure isn’t an option. The warrior’s way is simple: “I will be rich or I will die trying.”" ~ T. Harv Eker
