Why We’re Starting a Book Notes Series
A growing library of ideas we’re applying — and sharing with you
We read to grow. We write to remember. We share to connect.
Over the years, we’ve read dozens of books that shaped how we think, work, and live.
But more often than we’d like to admit, those insights ended up buried — in Kobo highlights, messy folders, or the back of our minds.
This series is our attempt to change that.
It’s not just about keeping track of what we’ve read. It’s about turning ideas into something we can use, revisit, and pass along. A living library - made of small reflections, personal takeaways, and practical applications.
Why We’re Doing This
To read with more intention
We’re using this series as a gentle nudge — to pause, reflect, and digest instead of rushing to the next thing.
To apply what we learn
Inspired by Building a Second Brain, this is how we turn reading into something usable. Not just stored knowledge, but living knowledge.
To move from divergence to convergence
We explore widely - from creativity to systems to life design. This helps us distill those scattered insights into clear themes we can build from.
To share what energises us
We’ve noticed something simple: The more we share, the more energy we create. These book notes are a way of giving back — and inviting others in.
To make knowledge accessible
These aren’t summaries. They’re conversations — about what stuck, how we’re applying it, and how it might support you, too.
To be inspired — and hopefully inspire
We’ve loved reading other people’s book lists. This is our version, and we hope it becomes part of your learning path.
What You’ll Find Here
Notes and reflections grouped by theme — like creativity, systems, self-leadership, purpose, and more
Each note includes: a core insight, key concepts, personal resonance, how we’re applying it, and how you can too
An evolving library — this is a living project — we’ll keep adding and evolving it over time
Explore the Library
Here’s where you can browse all our published reflections and notes.
Each one includes takeaways, aha moments, and simple ways you might bring the ideas into your own life or work.
An Open Invitation
This series is our way of learning in public — turning insight into action, and action into something shareable.
We’re designing it to grow with us — a space to return to, add to, and shape over time.
So whether you're here to find your next great read, explore a new mental model, or borrow a tool for your own journey — we’re glad you’re here.
Let’s keep learning, creating, and building momentum together.
