Book Notes by Josh Kaufman
I invest a lot of time in reading, and I try to put what I read into practice.
As I read and experiment, I take detailed notes for personal use, and for reference when I'm creating new books and courses.
My purpose in writing these notes isn't to summarize the text – it's to capture the most important ideas and practices the book contains in plain language, so I can put them to use. I also try to make connections between books and concepts, so each new book is fully integrated into everything else I've learned over the years.
Instead of keeping my notes to myself, I thought I'd publish them here so you could benefit from them as well.
If you'd like to hear whenever I publish new book notes, be sure to let me know you want to receive updates. Enjoy!

Josh Kaufman Explains 'Stress and Recovery'
During my last quarter of college-around the time I created the Personal MBA-I pushed myself to the breaking point. I was taking 22 credit hours of classes across three subjects: Business Information Systems, Real Estate, and Philosophy.
Every class I took had some kind of senior capstone project on top of the final exam. Two of the courses I was taking were at the graduate level, and each required a 20+ page paper on an extremely complex topic to pass.
I had far too much work to do in the time available.
