Perfect Gift for An Open Mind,
By Mediaflow (Hoboken, NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: How to Mind Map: Make the Most of Your Mind and Learn How to Create, Organize, and Plan (Hardcover)
Mind mapping is a powerful tool. It has helped me in many ways, remembering material for exams, planning for future, preparing for presentation, or more. I do agree with the previous reviewer that most of the material on this book can be found on internet. I have downloaded much info for mind map myself. But which book is so original that you cannot find any piece (concrete of conceptional) of it from internet? Besides, excellently edited/organized color pages, like children's books, are always pleasant, isn't it? To promote the tool of mind map, a tiny book like this is an excellent gift idea. How many of you have friends who do not use internet? How many of you have friends who use internet, but cannot find the information he/she needs? How many of you have friends who simply do not believe what they see on the screen? How many of you read electric-shock-proof material in bathroom? How many of you want to give a gift that can ultimately change the recipient's life? This is it!!! You can carry it to work, baseball games, or picnic. This book can easily slip into your pocket and provide good reference to the methodology of mind map when needed. This book can also serve as an anchor on your book shelf to remind you constantly the value of mind map. I cannot see the reason why you should not have it as a gift...even if you know this method by heart like I do... Give this book to family members, co-workers, students, relatives, and any one you care about. The mind map methodology may be the one thing they need today to suceed!

This review is from: How to Mind Map: Make the Most of Your Mind and Learn How to Create, Organize, and Plan (Hardcover)
The information in this book can be obtained online, and the preaching you can live without. Mind mapping is pretty intuitive. Once you see one you will say "I get it" and start using them. There is simply not enough information to go on and on about them in multiple books. I thought maybe I was missing something. Now I feel like I was snookered into paying for someone's info-mercial. The basic idea is good, and the binding is cute.

Good book despite hype,
By Jagadeesh K. Venugopal - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How To Mind Map (Paperback)
This is a good book. It covers mind mapping briefly. It could have been even more brief, but for the rather outlandish claims of its author. Tony Buzan is given to a lot of exaggeration. Shorn of the inflated claims, the book could well have been a small and effective booklet.The subject of the book is worthy of learning and usage. Mind mapping offers a very easy technique that requires little more than color pens and paper (though rather expensive software is also available). The method is simple -- a central topic in the middle, followed by radiating branches denoting concepts, sub-concepts, and further conceptual breakdowns. Arranging information spatially rather than linearly as in to-do lists and written notes helps place each node of information in context, and also helps the brain "grok" the entire picture all at once. One thing I find surprising about Buzan's book is -- why did he not mind-map his book itself? It would have been much easier to understand the concepts that way. I would recommend that you purchase the book by Joyce Wycoff rather than this one. The former book contains some good examples of mind maps and its applications. For those inclined to using software, FreeMind is an excellent freeware application that helps one create mind maps. 57 of 67 people found the following review helpful

Learn Mind Mapping and Teach your Kids,
By Deborah Crawford "Writer, Trainer, Walker, Sm... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How To Mind Map (Paperback)
I wish I'd known how to do this in college!Mind Mapping is great tool with all sorts of uses and this book is short enough for anyone to learn how to do it. Like most "life-hack" type tools, you'll get out of it what you put into it. In other words, you have learn it and use it to get much benefit. I do recommend it for kids--it's a great, simple way to organize most writing assignments, speeches, and other projects. They'll probably still have to do the old boring Roman numeral outlines, I suppose, but the mind-map can make that much easier, too! So, Buzan's a bit grandiose--mind-mapping probably won't bring world peace, but hey, neither does anything else! |
