These are books I have read, and most include personal notes.
My notes are not a summary of the book. They are derived from highlighted sections that resonated with me.
These notes do not replace the book. You need to read the book to gain a full context and derive meaning from relevant content.
I use these notes to re-read and reinforce the core ideas so that they continually shape my thinking and actions. These notes are convenient on my phone when I am traveling.
