Building a Second Brain: Book Pre-Order Bonuses
I’m proud to announce the pre-order bonuses for my upcoming book Building a Second Brain!
Pre-orders are the absolute best way to support me and the work our team is doing in the world.
As I’ve shared previously, pre-order sales are the most important signal of a book’s early momentum, and every single copy adds to the tidal wave of enthusiasm we’re hoping to ride across the media landscape.
Pre-orders send a powerful signal to every corner of the publishing industry that people want this book. That signal of interest can become a self-fulfilling prophecy, incentivizing booksellers to display the book more prominently, which in turn leads to further sales.
Why does that matter? Because all of this early activity helps get this book translated to more formats and more languages, which ultimately helps it reach more people with the benefits of a Second Brain system.
We’ve spent months dreaming up the most tantalizing goodies we could think of, including an exclusive masterclass, signed books, guided tours of the most valuable notes in my own Second Brain, a customized notebook, and even access to our premium 5-week online course.
I’ll be blunt – if you’re ever going to purchase anything from us, pre-ordering books is by far the most affordable and helpful way to do it.
Why should you consider buying multiple copies of this book?If you’re wondering what you’re going to do with multiple copies of a book, here are some ideas for how you can use them:
As gifts for people you care about, such as on birthdays and holidaysHost a book club with your friends, neighbors, or coworkersGive them to your team or department for their professional developmentGive them to the attendees of a conference, summit, or retreat you’re organizingProvide them as giveaways to your community, event, or social media followersGift them to your clients and customers as a thank you for their supportDonate to a library, youth center, church, or non-profit (with a potential tax deduction)As you can see, there are countless ways you can use multiple copies of a book like this one. It will train you in new ways of learning, working, and creating, but those changes are most powerful and sustainable when you bring others along on your journey.
All of the bonuses below apply to pre-orders only, which can be made up until the official U.S. release date on June 14, 2022 (though later dates may apply in other countries). And they are available for any purchase, at any price, in any format, from any retailer, in any country, as long as you can submit a valid receipt here:
