“Dude, you and your work/calling are an exclamation-point on my journey! Rock on!”  ~ Chase

“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 way you talk about yourself and your life—your story—has a great deal to do with what shows up in your day-to-day experience. Your thoughts create filters through which you view your life. If you think of yourself as a Victim, you filter all that happens to you through the lens of DDT, and you find plenty of evidence to support that viewpoint. That’s why the orientation you adopt is so important: it exerts a powerful influence on your life direction." ~ David Emerald
