Customer Reviews

great to help kids (and parents)
well done mr buzan - kid friendly graphics. i never finished the hard back version, but this is interesting for dads too - less theory and more doing. good for us time pressed parents to get the basics and help our kids

Inspiring
My eight-year old daughter has just completed her rocks and crystals homework using a mind map. I helped her out and we both really enjoyed it. It would have been quite frustrating to do in the default way (lists and tables) as she is quite a slow writer and not naturally good at spelling. We managed to cram so much info in there, using drawings, colours and just a few words.

I've got my own adult version of the book now.

New Way of Outlining Your Thoughts
Mind-mapping falls within the larger category of techniques for organizing your thoughts. There are schools of web or blob thinking and other nonlinear forms of organizing material, and this book is clear, concise and well-presented, although I'm a little unclear if it's for parents or for parents to read with their kids. Worth trying if you're not a "Type A" personality. I just finished "I Sleep At Red Lights: A True Story of Life After Triplets," by Bruce Stockler, a gift from my husband, and am passing it along to all my friends--a wonderful, vibrant, funny and compassionate memoir about family life.
