Reading Highlights — Overview

This knowledge base captures highlights, quotes, and personal notes from books and other sources. Each major work gets its own page; cross-cutting themes get their own pages too. Start here to navigate. [Reading Highlights.md]

The reader identifies a cross-cutting theme running through both books [Reading Highlights.md]:

Both books are really about honesty with yourself.

• Deep Work = being honest about where your attention actually goes.
• The Mom Test = being honest about whether people genuinely want the thing you're building.

This shared theme is explored in depth on its own page: Comfortable Lies vs Useful Truths.

• Per-book pages contain the memorable highlights (quoted verbatim), plus the reader's own notes and applications.
• Cross-topic pages like Comfortable Lies vs Useful Truths draw connections across multiple works.
• Source material is always cited back to [Reading Highlights.md] so nothing is asserted beyond what the original notes contain.
