Summary: book with a brain
Review: For people who want to learn how to maximize their gray matter, this book is the place to start. it's clear, concise and teeming with food for thought. I read it twice. The book is even better the second time around. It's like a good movie you never grow tired of watching. You'll come away with an enormous appreciation for the brain's compacity and inspiration to put this center of thought to better use.

Summary: Minding your own mind
Review: Four stars only as this is more of the 'popularisation' of the right brain/left brain stuff and, if you haven't come across that before then there's something of interest. However, most of the topics are covered without detail and so the the book is more a primer for Tony's other works than something you can read and utilise.
If you have some of the other generic intros to 'brain power' then you don't need this one. If you need a starting point then this should open many a synaptic vista...enjoy

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is a must for everyone from school children to the business person. It will help you :- Realize how much you already know
Improve information retention
Improve the recalling of that information
Read more efficiently
Learn more efficiently
I came across Tony Buzan's work in 1990, when I had just started studying for a degree whilst working full time. It was not until I read this book that I actually learnt how to learn quicker, more efficiently and be able to access that knowledge easier.
Throughout this book you are given examples, explanations and tests that you can use to prove to yourself within minutes that what you have just been told works. In fact, not only are you told at the start how incredible your brain is and how much you already know, but this book then helps you proves it !!
Each chapter could be a book in its own right, however the aim of this book, quite rightly, is to give you 80% of the benefit for 20% of the effort.
