Dare To Try A Little Experiment In Imagination?
Just Follow These 3 Easy Steps And This Exercise Will Show You The Sheer Power Of Ideas And The Remarkable Effect They Can Have On Your Future
First, I want you to imagine yourself 50 days from now. That’s really not so far away. It’s just under 2 months. A mere fraction of time in your life. Take a few seconds and think about this.
Odds are, you’ll see the same “you” that you see today. The same career, personality, health, mindset, relationships. Sure, there might be an improvement here or there, but for the most part it’s all the same. Let’s face it. Not much can change in under 2 months, can it?
Now let’s really get you into this thought experiment.
Here’s the second step. I want you to imagine what would happen if you stepped back from EVERYTHING for 50 days. You took a break from your job, put your relationships on hold, let your kids stay at your parents, and stopped everything EXCEPT the practice of reading. And for each of these 50 days you studied and absorbed the knowledge from 1 of the greatest and most influential books on self growth.
That’s 50 books in 50 days.
Imagine what would life be like if you had ingrained in your being the teachings of Socrates by Saturday? And by this weekend, Stephen Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People? And then Dr. Wayne Dyer’s Power of Intention by Monday, Secrets of the Millionaire Mind by T. Harv Eker on Tuesday, and The Power of Now by Eckart Tolle by Wednesday? You’re suddenly absorbing almost a book a day. And ingraining these key ideas into the core of your being. By the end of the first week you’ve absorbed a stunning 7 books!
But you push on…book by book. Day by day. And…
By day 50 you’ve absorbed the 50 books below:

And on you go! By the end of the first month, 30 books. And by day 40, you’ve reached 40 books. By day 50, you’ve just absorbed the 50 most influential and powerful books in health, wealth, relationships, mindset, and even the science of happiness.
And if you keep going, by the end of the 100th day, you will have also absorbed these books too:

That’s 100 books in 100 days.
Now for the third and final step in our thought experiment…
Now I want you to imagine what your life would be like after having absorbed and internalized the BIGGEST ideas from the top 100 books in personal growth.
How would you be as a person?
Would you be a better parent, lover, entrepreneur, friend?
How would your life be inspired?
Perhaps you’ll suddenly find an untapped energy within you to do all the things you’ve always wanted to. Or maybe you’ll discover an unexplored talent that’s just waiting to come out. And better yet, you might discover your life’s true calling: your purpose.
And from something as simple as an idea or thought, your future has transformed into excitement, passion, drive, and joy.
BUT, of course, nothing like this is possible.
You can’t possibly put your entire life on hold for 50 days to invest in your personal growth. And reading one book a day is near-impossible for most of us. At the very best, we could hope to finish them in a few years.
Not to mention buying 100 books could cost you as much as $2,000.
$2000 dollars, hours upon hours of reading. Having to cast your entire life and career aside for 50 days. Sorry, not gonna happen.
Yet deep inside you, you hunger for this. For you know and resonate with the truth below.
You Are Split Amongst 2 Lives At This Very Moment
We each have two lives. You are currently living one of them right now. This is the life you are most familiar with. Your daily routine, the usual acquaintances, and the same scenery.
Then you have your “Great Life“ that represents the greatest version of your greatest self. Have you ever dreamt of starting your own business? Or thought about writing a best-selling novel, running a marathon, painting an international work of art, becoming an advocate for the helpless, or a crusader for Planet Earth? All of your dreams are ready to be realized in your “Great Life.”
And the only thing that stands between the life you currently live and your “Great Life“ is WISDOM.
The simple fact is this:
Find A Way To Accelerate The Rate At Which You Absorb WISDOM And Your Life Will Accelerate Immediately.
And if WISDOM is the door. I’m about to show you the KEY.
Here’s The Secret:
You CAN Absorb All Those 100 Books In 100 Days
I’ll let you in on something. There is a way you CAN absorb the knowledge from 100 books in a couple months. In fact, you could take in all the wisdom and insight from a single book in just 20 minutes! And not for some extravagant fee or costly price. For just $99 bucks.
This is the reason behind PhilosophersNotes. If knowledge can change your life then it can change the world. And the only way I could get all this knowledge out and help everyone and anyone get their wisdom on was by condensing the core ideas and teachings of the 100 greatest books in personal growth EVER.
After I had read Deepak Chopra’s 7 Spiritual Laws of Success, I was faced with this question: “What would you do if you had all the money in the world?” Well, it certainly wasn’t what I had been doing. So I sold my company Zaadz, took 2 years out of my life, flew to the tiny island of Bali in the South Pacific and dedicated my life to studying, reading, and getting all this wisdom out.
And that’s what PhilosophersNotes is. 100 books condensed into 100 six-page summaries and 100 twenty-minute audio guides. Each summary is packed with the biggest ideas, analysis, and tips on how you can implement the knowledge into your life. It’s no average internet book summary, that’s for sure.
Think: Mini-CliffsNotes™ for Personal Growth Books—Giving You More Wisdom in Less Time
When you decide to join PhilosophersNotes, you will be given access to in-depth summaries to these 100 books:
I wanted to find a cool way to share the best “Big Ideas” from 100 of the greatest self-development books in a fun, inspiring, smart and practical way such that we can immediately apply the lessons from the greatest teachers to our busy 21st century lives.
Each Summary on 6-page PDF and 20-minute MP3!
With PhilosophersNotes, you can:
- Listen to inspiration instead of the junk on the radio while commuting to work
- Enjoy fun, inspiring, smart summaries of great books you can’t find time to read
- Expose yourself to teachers you haven’t heard of so you can go deeper
It’s All About the Big Ideas…
Let’s Rock 1,000 of the Biggest Ideas
from 100 of the Greatest Books!
You know how every book has 5-10-20 “Big Ideas”?!? … those sections we underline and asterisk and mark all up?!? … the Big Ideas we want to come back to that literally have the power to completely transform our lives?!?
Well, what I’ve done is picked out 100 of my favorite books and pulled out the 5-20 Big Ideas from each book, neatly packaging them in 6-page PDFs + 20-minute MP3s that you can easily read or listen to on your way to work, while working out or doing chores or whatever! (Dozens of people have told me they LOVE getting through a book on the way to work or on a run and that they actually look forward to their commutes and their workouts now!! :) ).
So, you can think of PhilosophersNotes as “Concentrated wisdom for your hero’s journey!” where you get the distilled wisdom from 100 of the greatest self-development books of all time-including:
- The Top 10 Classics including Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations, Lao-tzu’s Tao te Ching, Buddha’s Dhammapada, Krishna’s Bhagavad Gita and Rumi’s poetry

Your Work Has Become Water For My Soul
“I am not able to become a sadhu or a reclused holy man but I have my sacred time each morning and it is very important.
I arise and align and stretch and moan and it is always good, but sometimes the vagaries of life leave me feeling flat.
I “dry out”. It’s not bad. It’s just that I can tell when I am “in blossom” and when I am just growing. I spend time, read and ponder and just when I need it, in exactly the most auspicious way – boom – you point something out, clarify an idea or just say – “hey you, have you heard this before!?” I begin to bloom.”
~ David

A Daily Re-Commitment That Help Us On Our Journeys
“I was in LA, I burned a bunch of copies of P-notes and listened to them in my truck on the way to and from work…
They were an awesome inspiration and really helped me stay positive and create new ideas, be an inspiration to others and stay committed to my path.
I’ve re-listened to some of them 5 times and wanted to emphasize this to you. Your Big Idea is something that can be used to revitalize us each morning and help us all to remember what we want and the numerous different big ideas to help us get it.”
~ Bryan Bertsch

I Cry, I Laugh, I Smile, I Contemplate, and Mostly I Feel at Peace
“I got here to London almost a week ago. and I noticed a lot of fear and a ton of doubts coming up. All of a sudden I was gripped by anxiety and sadness “what if I’ve made the wrong decision?
So I put on your notes. I’ve been listening to them every time i am on the tube, or on a bus, or walking home (and that is often). they have really been priceless. it’s been like an IV of goodness going straight to my soul. I cry, I laugh, I smile, I contemplate, and mostly I feel at peace. it’s been like having you right here with me.”
~ Leah

It’s Like You Are My Personal Life Coach
“You were meant to come into my life and help me.
I intended it! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I was really struggling with putting all this wonderful wisdom from those great teachers I mentioned together for my world.
You put things in perspective for me with your notes. It’s like you are my personal life coach.
Your summaries are short and sweet and to the point. Please know I thank God every day for you. God Bless you Brian and your hero’s journey.”
~ Renay

A Way To Satisfy My Thirst For Wisdom And Growth
As a busy mother and lawyer, I never seem to have enough time in the day to satisfy my thirst for new wisdom and growth.
So I particularly love giving your Note a quick read as part of my morning routine, and then contemplating the “Big Ideas” of the day (and how I can more deeply incorporate them into my own life) while making breakfast for my son, driving to the office, riding in the elevator, etc. – whenever I have a quiet moment.
