A Good Introduction to Mindmaps  2008-04-26
I was introduced to mind maps when I took this book out from the library to help me in college. Even if parts of the book are boring its still a good introduction to the basis elements of mind mapping. I especially liked the examples in the book of the different kinds of mind maps that people put together, then I put together my own for a course in college called data collection and analysis. Mind mapping this class helped me remember things I would have never remembered on my own. Up to this day I can still vividly recall the structure of some of my mind maps for this class on data analysis. Its really quite amazing. I recommend this book as a beginners guide to anyone interested in helping with their memory recall.
Everything you need to get started with Mind Maps  2008-04-03
If you were going to buy one book on mind maps, this is the book. It presents the basics of creating a mind map and then goes on to show different ways and situations in which you can use them. There are also some really nice examples of mind maps to get your mind going. You don't need to be an artist. I went through the Radiant Learning workshop that the Buzan Organization teaches to certify mind map instructors back in 2000. I've used mind maps with coaching clients, in workshops and in corporate consulting. You can get what you need from this book to get the benefits of mind maps right now for a really low price. The key is to just follow the basics described in the book and go from there. If you want, you can learn more about mind maps and other visual thinking/creating tools. But this is the one to start with because you'll establish a strong foundation in the basics. Once you read this book, you'll be able to judge if any other book or product has anything new to offer. You can't beat this book for the price and the skills it offers. Mind maps will help you end writer's block, solve problems, create new ideas and more. It's really fun to use with kids too. Enjoy, you'll be doing yourself a big favor!

This book changed the way I learn and teach 2007-04-04
I learned mind mapping using this book in 2002 and have been making them for learning, and for making decisions, ever since. Now I'm using them for teaching. There's just nothing like mind maps.
One thing I'd like to emphasize: if you think you can't make maps like the ones in the book because you "can't draw", you're in for a real surprise. The very act of drawing your map will draw out your creativity -- it's quite an amazing phenomenon! Your first maps will be timid -- expect that and keep on making them. Save those first maps to "map" your progress.
But if you feel more comfortable working at the computer, since the book came out a whole slew of mind mapping software has emerged and some good ones are free.
