We have so many inspiring articles, newsletters, and books available. But how much of this content is actually helping us accelerate towards our authentic, deepest selves? Reading is easy - taking action to experience our full potential is something else.

You probably know what it's like to have read a non-fiction book that's fascinating. But unless you apply its wisdom, it ends up making zero, practical impact. After all, we all know what it's like to have read something, only to forget the knowledge a few months later.

Out of a need for actionable book reviews, that strike a chord and make a lasting difference - Growth Notes was born. Within, I uncover actionable ideas from non-fiction books, in a visual, clear, bullet point style - so that you can remember and apply them seamlessly.  

What Makes Growth Notes Unique?

Growth Notes isn't about summarising books; it's about bringing them to life. Through the theme of nature, you'll discover practical, empowering ideas that will have a radical influence on the way you live. 

Each Growth Note (7 Page guide) starts with a first section, called 'Trim the Weeds'. Here, you'll uncover the three most crucial habits worth avoiding based on a book's wisdom. 

"The true [way] lies not in a process of accumulation…but rather in elimination" - John Little, The Warrior Within.

Afterwards, you'll find a second section named 'Plant the Seeds' - where you'll explore three key, game-changing habits worth applying. The idea is simple: By progressively trimming weeds and planting the right seeds in your life, you will grow to: Be more alligned with the most empowered version of you. 

For every book featured, you'll also find the most impactful highlights. And a rating out of ten to help you decide whether it's worth buying if you wish to study it more deeply. Currently, there are 30 books on the platform though this selection will grow to hundreds in time. 

What You Will Have Access to

• For every book - a seven page Growth Note alongside a video review.  


• 'Personal Insights' - to articulate your ideas based on what you've read.


• 'Growth Cycle' (Spatial Repetition) - to help you remember what you learn.

Growth Cycle - Learning Technique

We forget more than 60% of what we've read just once in less than a week¹. Yikes... you'll be reminded to review a Growth Note and your notes a month from your original date of reading, and two months after - so that what you learn stays with you.² 

“Knowledge without reflection is a waste of time" - Confucius.

Warren Buffett once said the best investment you can make is in your own education. Because money comes and goes. Relationships come and go. But what you learn and apply stays with you forever.

The trouble is, most non-fiction books, make it difficult to determine what it is you should apply. In going so deep into the theory, what truly matters, gets lost. Learning then becomes unrelatable, impractical, and just not fun. And so, you don't end up absorbing and applying ideas successfully. 

Growth Notes is about helping you meditate that problem, by giving you access to a library of practical, powerful book reviews, alongside an accountability sytem.
