Product Description

Product Description

Are you worried that you’re not achieving your full potential?

 

A few years after this classic book on how to improve your brainpower was first published, a fairly average student announced that he intended to try for a place at Cambridge University. His chances were assessed as ‘slim’, since his grades were usually unexceptional. But with the help of Use Your Head, he went on to achieve four As at A-level, two starred firsts at Cambridge and a top job with a multi-national company.

 

Since 1974, Use Your Head has been translated into over 27 languages, has been published in five continents and 100 countries, has sold well over a million copies and still the demand increases!

 

Use Your Head will:

  • Teach you the vital skills of Learning How to Think and Learn.
  • Increase your creative thinking and problem-solving capacity
  • Enable you to make the best of your brain
  • Provide you with both the confidence and the means to fulfil your own mental potential

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating !, 8 Dec 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Use Your Head (Paperback)
I was sceptical when I flicked through this book - it looked slightly technical with pictures of the brain and manic diagrams . However, when I started the book, I couldn't put it down and read it in one sitting. The examples are inspiring and the techniques simple to use. I have since recommended this book to 4 other people who have found it extremely helpful in day to day life. I am now working my way through the rest of Buzan's books. I only wish I was taught these techniques when I was at school. Perfect for people studying or for anyone interesed in trying something new

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on Learning to learn, 17 Feb 2001
This review is from: Use Your Head (Paperback)
This book has improved my Reading speed a bit, My memory a lot, my study techniqu an amazing amount. I can using the techniques outlined in this easy to read book read faster remember more of what I read and using the simple mind mapping techniques and review techniques make the knowledge a permanent addition. I love this book and I have convinced my Wife and brother to read it. I am also impressing my colleagues at work with my ability to quickly learn and recall new technologies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Think about it !, 28 Aug 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Use Your Head (Mind Set) (Paperback)
Having reached the dizzy heights of A levels with little application I suddenly discovered that I had no idea how to study. Academic processes in this country are based on the fallacy that studying is a natural process which can be aquired without tuition. A couple of hours with this book will convince you not only that you are capable of studying more effectively, but also with practice you can do it without angst. This is the definitive self empowerment manual - a complete toolkit for ensuring that you can utilise your own capabilities in the most effective manner.
