- pestaa 13y agoHaven't found many books that piqued my interest, but I must say this web page is so simple and beautifully designed. Well done.

- lmm 13y agoI found it really confusing, because it looked (superficially) like facebook but wasn't.
- dcre 13y agoI appreciate that the level of detail makes this list something to bookmark and revisit a few times. Huge fan of Bret!

- sirgawain33 13y agoDon't miss the fractal ants at the bottom! A wonderful visual analogy that shows Bret practices the ideas he's encountering in this research. I started taking research notes this year in a similar way to the linked article: a document of quotes from books and blogs clipped with my comments. It is sort of magical the result, you reveal big ideas that talk to each other across the divisions of books. You can see it on this site, it really seems the ideas fit together into parts of a coherent overall image. One difference in my method to Bret's is that I print my notes and put them in a binder. The physical result seems to make the ideas "more real" than when they are buried in text files. Highly recommend this practice. Everyone has their own big ideas,perhaps only sub consciously voiced and this sort of activity helps bring them to life. Thanks for the great link!
