How to Take Smart Notes

ISBN 9783982438801

About This Book

An informational book that describes and advocates for the note taking system of the German sociologist Niklas Luhmann. The author's primary claim is that Luhmann's system of keeping a slip-box (or "zettelkasten") full of interesting ideas and bibliographic references can help students, academics, and non-fiction writers be more productive.

Editorial Note

Rewires how you relate to your own reading by externalizing thought into a system. Makes note-taking feel like thinking rather than transcription.
