Building a Second Brain

Building a Second Brain tackles today’s information overload by teaching you Tiago Forte’s PARA framework—Projects, Areas, Resources, Archives—for capturing and filing ideas where you’ll actually find them again. Drawing on a decade of research and workshops, Forte shows how to pair this structure with tactics like Progressive Summarization so your digital notes turn into a living library that sparks creativity instead of stress. The result is a trusted “brain outside your head” that frees up focus, speeds up projects, and preserves insights for work and life alike.
