“PhilosophersNotes combine the distilled thoughts of our greatest thinkers with the enthusiasm needed to actually put them into play in our own lives. Brian Johnson, Chief Philosopher, is one part laser beam to wisdom, one part companion for the inner journey, and one part Captain Jack Sparrow (in the first Pirate's movie)—mixed well. It is a great service to have Brian's personal introduction to brilliant thinkers I have not met, as well as a vivid reminder of what inspired me in the works of authors I already know.”
“Reading Brian's Philosopher's Notes is like getting pearls of wisdom from books that will change your life, then having one of those delicious discussions about it with someone who not only understands, but has his own pearls of wisdom to add too. This is exactly what we were looking for in our house. We always talked about needing summaries of books, and here they are, only better.”
"It’s important to realize that inquiry is about noticing, not about dropping the thought… Inquiry is not about getting rid of thoughts; it’s about realizing what’s true for you, through awareness and unconditional self-love. Once you see the truth, the thought lets go of you, not the other way around." ~ Byron Katie
