Book Description
Your brain is like a sleeping giant - its potential is far greater than was generally imagined. Even the commonly heard statement that on average we use only one per cent of our brains may well be an overestimation. Tony Buzan, the leading expert in the field, sets out to help you develop that astounding untapped potential. Essential reading for anyone keen to learn, read, memorize and think more efficently, this classic bestseller explains clearly how your brain works and how to maximize its unrealized power.

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.

Buzan has written several books like this. This is the one for students. It is cheap, it covers the key skills students need: listening, note taking, reading, creativity and memory.
This book not only helped me get my Ph.D, it made doing it possible in the first place by helping me to massively transforming my marks and my B.Sc grade in my 3rd year at University. I lent it to a friend and he improved his degree by a grade also.
Can't recommend this book enough. The cliche "transformed my life" exists for a reason, its possible and its true.

Clear, easy to read and understand. This book is not only practical, it can also change lives of those who take the lessons seriously. Applications from this book have made me effective in teaching a graduate school elective called Integrative Systems for Intuitive Natural and Creative Technologies (In.St.I.N.C.T.). The subject is very well recieved and is offered in three of the top business schools in the Philippines. Thanks to people like Buzan, we can become more confident, creative and meaningful in our lives & work. An excellent all occasion gift...
