“Brian: First a massive thank you for setting up Zaadz, now Gaia... I'm writing also to thank you for the recent Philospher's Notes. I absolutely love the recent ones by Robin Sharma and now Nietzsche about pushing yourself, and your practical stuff about getting up before the sun, and the other stuff about “it's great to find your dream, your gift to the world, but are you willing to work hard to actually make it happen!?” This is where I am at in my personal life. Very clear on what I'm doing and why, but not really very good at, or not willing to, push myself out of my comfort zone in order to make it happen now. So thank you for these very loving kicks up the butt that I have been receiving in my Inbox every morning! You are giving a great gift to the world. You are a living example of what can be achieved. God Bless You!”
“What a fabulous concept! As a lifelong fan of personal development (you should see my bookshelf!) and someone who has written articles on the subject for many, many years, I find tremendous value in the service Brian Johnson provides in PhilosopersNotes. Constantly researching these materials, I often find myself unable to keep up, with piles of partially-read books. Brian culls the information for us, not only offering up key insights but also pointing out areas where we may want to delve further. Brilliant! Plus, he has an easy, friendly voice that was just made for mp3 … He can read to me any day!” ~ Colleen McGunnigle, DesignByMuse.com






"The crime which bankrupts men and states is job-work—declining from your main design, to serve a turn here and there. Nothing is beneath you, if it is in the direction of your life, nothing is great or desirable if it is off from that. I think we are entitled here to draw a straight line and say that society can never prosper but must always be bankrupts, until every man does that which he was created to do." ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
