throw your notes away
a brilliant skill to learn. This book is an easy to read introduction (though the longer book is more interesting)... much more fun than writing reams of notes.

I got it for my dyslexic son to use for school, a great help for him, and handy for me

QUICK AND EASY
This is one of those books where you already know all the information, but it's useful to have it all in one place, in a coherent order (sorta!!).
The mind map technique is great for when you need a structure to help make a difficult decision, or prepare for something nerve racking, although the book advocates its use for virtually everything of course.
The unremitting very 'American' style ("this is the answer to all your problems etc.") has to be ignored, but it's well worth the purchase.
It's easy to read, plus you can probably read the thing in one or two hours. I regard both these things as a bonus in books of this type.

Overpriced
For the ideas that it presents, this is over-priced. There are only a few 'rules' presented for mind-mapping, and for anyone who's ever seen a mind-map, those rules are pretty obvious. I bought this hoping for some great ideas and insights into what mind-mapping can do for you, but instead it told me what I already knew, with an excess of exclamation marks to hammer the few points it presented home.

There are many better books about creative thinking out there.
