People always say what we are looking for is a meaning for life…I don't think that's what we're looking for. I think what we're looking for is the experience of being alive.

“Brian: Wow! A real person at the other end of a transaction on the internet. I am impressed. Very nice to get the note. Even nicer to discover the work. AMAZING concept. So beats the old cliff notes, executive summaries etc. I am a bookaholic and aspiring writer. To find a way to get the word to as many people is a gift you give these authors. Even greater is the fact that it is transparent up front in partnership with them. On the same wavelenth as many of the books are on my shelf already. Yet several I have yet to take the time to delve into. Oh and one last thing. I am a book jumper. What I mean by this is I read about 10 or 15 at once rarely from cover to cover. I am more into the intuitive relevance. The ones I really like I get the book and the audio. Now I can get philosophersnotes. Will spread the word. PS. Like the zip file download of the PDFs.”
“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.”
"If you don't get what you want, you suffer; if you get what you don't want, you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want, you still suffer because you can't hold on to it forever. Your mind is your predicament. It wants to be free of change. Free of pain, free of the obligations of life and death. But change is a law, and no amount of pretending will alter that reality." ~ Dan Millman
