Expensive Second Brain Course

[StarStruck]

I did the course and it transformed my common place book:

It is a must if you have a big common place book.

This year I was literally bogged down by all the information that I captured in my commonplace book. His system really works. I wish I read his book or did his course from the start of my common place book.

Btw this is the guy with whom Leo argued with regarding the bible.

Interesting, I've heard some good things about this course. 

Do you think you can extract the basics from his book, or is the course necessary? Is there a software subscription involved or do you use your own thing?

this has the general idea

 

and its basically a system you can implement in any software, you can use onenote, obsidian (my personal choice) , evernote, notion, etc.

You can use whatever software you want. I use OneNote.

I haven't read the book so I can't answer that question. But he gives a lot more than is mentioned in that link provided by Ayham: that is not even the main frame of his theory of note taking.

It is a complete system for note taking with an input, processing and output.

I don't even remember where it's from, some post on his blog I think?

I just remember it because a long time friend of mine used to be a religious fundamentalist when we met, and I somehow managed to debate him into being an atheist, which he is still to this day about 10 years later, while I'm the one who believes in God, oh how the tables turn

What are the differences you found in the book and in the course? Are they pretty much same likeC.O.DE P.A.R.A?
