Product Description
Product Description
Your brain is a super bio-computer that dwarfs any machine on the market. If you understand how it works and how to work with it, you can employ and enjoy astonishing powers of learning, memory, concentration, and creativity in planning and structuring thought on all levels. Now, in The Mind Map Book, Tony and Barry Buzan have provided a comprehensive operating manual for all who want to use their brains to their fullest potential. Mind Mapping and Radiant Thinking, the revolutionary new method of accessing heretofore untapped intelligences, was developed by world-famous brain-power expert Tony Buzan by analyzing original breakthrough scientific insights into the workings of the brain. It is a process currently used with extraordinary success by multinational corporations, leading universities, champion athletes, and outstanding artists. The Mind Map Book is the only book that both explains the fundamental operation of the brain in terms of its thinking processes and explains how to unleash and harness its power. This remarkable book clearly and concisely describes how your brain actually stores and processes all the information that pours into it. Then, with the aid of vivid diagrams and exciting, easy-to-follow exercises, it shows you precisely how to mirror and magnify your brain's pattern of perception and association in the way you learn, think, and create...and have it serve as the tool you need to succeed in business as well as in school, in the studio, in sports, in your love life and other relationships; quickly master the right way to take notes, organize a speech, a writing assignment, a report; and join with others to pool thinking productively, memorize a mammoth amount ofdata, free your ideas to grow and expand constantly in depth and dimension. On another level, you will see how the great thinkers, scientists, and artists of the past and present have utilized the principles of Mind Mapping and Radiant Thinking. Included, too, are fascinating cas

Format:Paperback
Although perhaps overstating the "radiant thinking" idea, the Buzans' book provides a helpful way to organize one's thoughts or notes and to review or learn just about anything. The only reason I didn't rate this book higher, despite its wonderful graphics and helpful instructions, is that it gets very repetitive and almost "preachy" about this methodology. It does give you everything you need (except practice, which you'll have to supply for yourself) to learn to create your own mind maps. This is a good thing.
Another book to read that compliments this one is Writing the Natural Way, by Gabriele Lusser Rico. She provides a similar method for organizing one's thinking called "clustering." A combination of the two methods has served me well for a variety of planning and note-taking uses.

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!

The simplest ideas are always the best! Here is a simple, pleasant, rewarding and powerful technique for improving your mind and productivity in a variety of fields. Much of this book is really about common sense, but sometimes its the most obvious things that need highlighting. This book has, literally, changed my life in past few years I would not hesitate to give my personal recommendation (and do frequently :-) to anyone out there! If only I'd had it at school.... the rubbish I could have avoided.

An elementary treatment.
This is a simple technique that the author tries to make complex. His earlier works are much more worthwhile.
