Review:
Short is good, and this book is very short. In fact it would have been better as a leaflet/ booklet. But who would spend £8 on a leaflet? You could stand in a bookstore and read the short simple chapter about "Mind Maps" in this book and save yourself the purchase price; honestly this book could well have been a small and effective booklet.
The subject of the book is worthy of learning and usage as i found the technique to be effective. Mind mapping offers a very easy technique that requires little more than color pens and paper. 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 "remember" the entire picture all at once therefore making all the info retrieveable.
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.The examples given for persuading the virtues of mind mapping are quite laughable. However, at least they are examples. The maps themselves are in colour, and they do more or less comply with the rules.
However, its more of the same infomercial throughout. Having statements such as "THE MIND MAP WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE" written across the page is a little more than irritating and i never trust a writer who wrties in block capitals to get a point across; it smacks of childishness.
