🚀 Cohort 5 starts on August 19. 📔 We will be summarizing Finite and Infinite Games by James P. Carse into a book-on-a-page

In this video, I provide a summary of Tiago Forte's new book, Building a Second Brain. In parts 2 and 3 I will provide a behind-the-scenes view of how I created this book on a page summary.

This book on a page was created with the Obsidian-Excalidraw plugin.
