4.0 out of 5 stars Good tools for organizing your thoughts, 6 Nov 1997

By A Customer

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Best book Buzan has written!", 31 Aug 1999

By A Customer

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is purely pefect., 12 April 1999

By A Customer

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.
