Read the first story yesterday. Not a bad piece...could easily be adapted for a contemporary audience. In fact, there have definitely been variations on this type of story (since it is a comedic piece).

Just opened it tonight and read the first page...what a way to open a book on habits...
Not bad. Adds a bit more detail to the concepts from Building A Second Brain... But I sense that a few of the things in it actually kinda contradict some points in this book.

Started this tonight. Think it will just be a bit more in depth about the system than "Building a 2nd Brain".

This is a pretty good book. It starts with what is (ostensibly) a clone of the Zettelkasten system -- but then goes into a very different idea of how to organize and make information flow through the system.
The only thing that I find disappointing is the push to make people believe that the system can do things that aren't logically supported. For example, there is part of the book where Tiago pushes the idea that your brain will start to work differently because of this system. He can't really say that -- there is no evidence to back that up... And it shows in the book -- in these sections there is far less reference material to support these claims.
But, I think the overall concept is good... Good enough that I have started working on implementing it myself (well, my own variant, taking some ideas from …

Good work. I think between this book and the Digital Zettelkasten book I see some limitiations. For example, it seems that the focus is generally on having a specific field of study that you are working with. I know this can work in the real world for some people, but if you aren't really reading or working towards writing a paper for your job, it isn't likely to be all that useful.
I do feel, however, taht Chapter 13 is pretty weak. It's really just covering the same material that you've spent twelve chapters reading. that chapter could have been condensed, and/or possibly combined with chapter 14 - which is about making the process a habit.
But still, there are a lot of things that are interesting aabout this book. Possibly the best part is "Chapter 15" in the appendix: a look at Luhmann's Zettlekasten -- that actually …

Single sitting book. Really quick, and doesn't assume you know too much about Zettelkasten. Does a nice job of recommending ways to implement it in an application agnostic way. While that is a strength, it is also a weakness, as some of the available applications provide better solutions to issues with the system than the authors application agnostic system does.
But, still really worth a read.
