Vision, Purpose
“Brian Johnson's enthusiastic passion for timeless truths and wisdom that can guide us to more fully living and realizing our potential is inspiring and highly contagious. The PhilosophersNotes combine his palpable passion with his laser sharp insight to present the essence and substance of great teachers and their works in an accessible and highly condensed format. This is a great gift! Thank you for your ongoing contribution to the enrichment and elevation of all of us, Brian.”
“Hello Brian: I came across your site by chance (or was it chance?) and I think that it is fantastic. Why? Well because I think that the underlying concept, as I see it, is something that is very much needed in current times. Hard working, time pressed folk just can't devote the hours necessary to work their way properly through all the books you refer to. And I am not at all convinced that any sort of "speed reading" techniques would help to absorb in full the original content of all your enclosed texts. It's just great to be able to download a MP3 and listen to the 20 minutes or so of "distilled wisdom" per book last thing at night on my iPod. The way I see it you have compiled the musical equivalent of a "Greatest Hits" compilation from the philosophy domain. Plus I think that US$20 is very, very good value. May the powers that be give you the strength and inspiration to continue your important work.”
"The Three Armies can be deprived of their commanding officer, but even a common man cannot be deprived of his purpose." ~ Confucius
