Rating: Summary: fun , useful, and beautiful Review: This book uses vivid color images and clear examples to explain the theory and practice of Mind Mapping. I worked through the excercises sequentially and found that one task led into another nicely until I was Mind Mapping like a pro. I found the thorough explanation of the rationale underpinning the structure of Mind Maps helpful and interesting. I also enjoyed all of the different uses covered. I use Mind Mapping to write speeches, plan projects, plan my days, make decisions, communicate ideas, and learn and retain information. I plan to use Mind Mapping to design Websites. If you want a complete and beautiful treatment of Mind Mapping, this is the book.

Rating: Summary: "Best book Buzan has written!" Review: As a Buzan Licensed Instructor since 1992 and the only Master Trainer in the USA, I think anyone can begin to Mind Map as a result of this book. He takes simple concepts and shows you how to apply Mind Mapping in complex situations. Great tool to improve note taking, organization and planning for anyone! Mind Mapping is so natural and yet most people still use linear methods. Read the book and find out for yourself!
Rating: Summary: An elementary treatment. Review: This is a simple technique that the author tries to make complex. His earlier works are much more worthwhile.
Rating: Summary: This book is purely pefect. Review: I have read other books on this subject but I have found that this one is the best. All the others just told you "do this and that" but they didn't show you how. This book did. Now with a fuller understanding of Mind Maps,I have raised my memory, creativity, and problem solving abilities.
Rating: Summary: Simply the BEST book on Mind Mapping! Review: There is only one ORIGINAL and many (bad) copies. Of course that Original MIND MAPPING evolved the past 25 years and we also added the latest in brain research into our trainings. But publicly this is the best practical source of information available. Want to know more about technique - see this book - or rather about the background? Write to Roger J. Zamofing, Switzerland, Consultant for Organizational and Personal Development based on innate causes.
Rating: Summary: The most powerful in Ergonomic Communication! Review: As a Buzan Associate Partner I am - for more than 25 years - fully conviced that Original Mind Mapping is the strongest tool to open up people for a lifefulfilling communication and for any meetings with mesurable outcomes. People who want power instead of insights fear the method!
Rating: Summary: Improve your creativity and memory Review: Few months back I was looking for a book on creativity and fortunately came across this one. Since the time I read it, my life has literally changed. I use Mind Mapping every day to organize my thoughts, come up with new ideas and plan ahead.
Great book, get it and read it thoroughly.
Rating: Summary: Very, very helpful Review: I have browsed this book in a bookstore and found it very amusing and interesting. Since then, the concept of mind-mapping has been nagging my mind for some time. So to console myself, I finally bought a copy and eversince, I have been using mind-mapping when jotting my lecture notes and scheduling. It took out the boredom of writing "linearly" and it made me discover the excitement of discovering my innate creative abilities-- besides the fact that this form of note-taking kept me awake and attentive during lectures. I think this concept of radiant thinking will be very helpful for students if learned at an early age.
