Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Note Taking
Brad Jones · 2015
58/100
👎 Skip It
This is a fine quick refresher if you've never thought about note-taking before, but Brad Jones doesn't bring much new to the table. Reviewers themselves say other books go deeper, and a ten-step primer just doesn't have the substance to earn a strong recommendation from me.
