Brian Johnson created the “Environmentally and Spiritually Conscious” social networking site ZAADZ.COM (now GAIA.COM). His new endeavor, PHILOSOPHER’S NOTES, is a sort of CliffsNotes for self-development books. Johnson has compiled over 1000 ideas from his favorite self-development titles and packaged them.
