Average rating3.8
In an era in which we are flooded with information it's clear that we need a way to organize the abundance of data. Some self help books can be very mystical and not at all practical, but this one contains concrete tips. Only after applying the lessons from these books for a few months I could say with certainty if it's good or not, but I'd say the start is pretty good. Can't say it's groundbreaking, we all know that it's good to take notes and organize them. What this book does well is to provide a framework from where to start to better organize our (digital) life.

Building a Second Brain is an outstanding and essential read for anyone struggling with information overload or looking to organise their digital life with purpose. Tiago Forte presents a practical, flexible system that helps you capture, organise, and use your knowledge effectively — without drowning in endless notes.
What I loved most about this book is how actionable and adaptable it is. The PARA and CODE frameworks are simple yet powerful, and they focus on turning information into action — not just collecting more stuff. Forte’s approach goes beyond organisation; it’s about unlocking creative potential and thinking more clearly in a fast-paced world.
Highly recommended for knowledge workers, creatives, lifelong learners, and anyone wanting to think better, create more, and stress less.
