Featured Articles Brian Johnson's "PhilosopherNotes"
Just what ARE PhilosopherNotes?
Wouldn’t it be great if, instead of reading many of the self-help books on the market today, you could read or listen to a condensed version in less than 15 mins?Brian Johnson describes his PhilosopherNotes as “kinda like mini-CliffsNotes for self development books or “Concentrated wisdom for your hero’s journey.”
Brian has opened up his favorite books, gone straight to those pages with the BIG IDEAS and created “PhilosophersNotes” that quickly give you the inspiring gems of the books along with Brian’s thoughts on how these ideas have impacted his life and how they can impact yours.
There are currently 25 PhilosopherNotes (and growing) that you can choose from. Each title features both a 6-page PDF (to read) and a 20 minute MP3 (to listen to).
Who is Brian Johnson, Anyway?
In 2004, in an effort to integrate his philosophical and entrepreneurial selves and to put the truths he was studying into practice, Brian created Zaadz (now a part of Gaia). Zaadz is a company named after the Dutch word for seed committed to leveraging world-class social networking tools to connect, inspire and empower people committed to transforming their lives and our planet. (Think: MySpace for people who want to change the world.) As the Philosopher & CEO of Zaadz, he raised $3 million to finance the launch of the business. In this company, Brian’s focus was on integrating spirituality and capitalism while he personally integrates his passion for understanding universal truths (and inspiring others to do the same) with his passion for creating businesses that change the world.
As a young entrepreneur and recent law school drop-out, Brian founded eteamz.com, raised several million dollars in venture capital and led the creation of what is now the largest site for amateur sports—serving nearly 2.5 million teams from over 120 countries around the world. After selling that business, at 26 Brian embarked on his mission to discover what he’s here to do. He read voraciously, studying philosophy, psychology, mysticism and optimal living while traveling to the Middle East and parts of Central and Western Europe where he studied Socrates in Athens, Rumi in Turkey, Jesus in Jerusalem and Marcus Aurelius in the Danube of Hungary.
His mission in life is pretty simple: to change the world by inspiring and empowering people to live at their highest potential while using their strengths in the greatest service to the world.
Gimme Some Testimonials, Please
“I think that your PhilosophersNotes are an idea whose time has come — but primarily because you're the one who is writing them. I believe that your life to this point has prepared you for this task. It seems a fine service to the reading public, and to authors and publishers, as you introduce readers to some valuable nuggets of the perennial wisdom.”
Dan Millman,
Author, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior"
“I love the PhilosophersNotes, but it's not because I don't have time to read. I subscribe to them because they're fantastic reminders of books that have had a profound impact on my life. Instead of having to reread them in their entirety, though, I can skim one of these inimitable reviews and get not just the heart of its message, but a boost of inspiration and the feeling that I'm not the only one who sees the critical importance of this sort of wisdom in the world.”
Siona van Dijk,
Director, Gaia Community
“PhilosophersNotes are the answer to one of the biggest problems we all seem to have when it comes to ingesting conscious media: Lack of time! Brian Johnson has found a way to brilliantly distill the essence of some of the most seminal and elevating reads. Philosopher’s Notes are essential in the great move toward personal and global transformation.”
Tommy Rosen,
Founder, Eco Gift Expo
