Mind Mapping: Improve Memory, Concentration, Communication, Organization, Creativity, and Time Management

I thought mind maps were over rated until this book. There is a lot you can do with them. I mean, you can essentially replace linear form of thinking with this method.

Be aware, it does take practice or getting use to, which is the challenge of doing anything new in life. Just because it is more useful and helpful doesn't mean you won't need plenty of practice. I recommend practicing on ancillary or non-relevant tasks just to get your mind in the habit of thinking this way...then on the real tasks, it'll be easier to use.

It's a very extensive and thorough book, probably more thorough than any thing I've come across on mind mapping. Some of the advice is a bit of a stretch to use like for lists, but all in all, presents useful ideas.

Everyone talks about how our parents and educational system kill our mental ability and creativity. I strongly believe that is true, but in many ways it's necessary as it helps us think and act in ways that is conducive to a functioning society. We can't all be jagged, uneven, abnormal in our thinking and communication, not only would we not understand each other but nothing would get done. At the same time, once we can start acting, behaving, and thinking in a functional way, it is important to connect back to that creative and super imaginative, intelligent self. After listening to this audio, I believe mind mapping is a great way to do that. It can help you connect with your more bright, gifted, talented self, while still being functional.

My mind is a wild animal; erratic, unpredictable, jumping from thought to thought, unable to hold down an idea long enough to use or manage. It's really affected all areas of my life from studying, to writing, to communicating. I thought I was doomed until I came across mind mapping. It really works well with an erratic mind like mine, in fact, it works amazingly well. Mind mapping makes it o.k. for my thoughts and thinking to jump to think better, remember more, and communicate more clearly. If you've got an unquiet mind and are having difficulty getting a grip on managing information, give mind mapping a try.

Very easy to digest, with real-world, concrete examples and illustrations that will make you go from beginner to advanced user of a marvelous thinking tool. Don't pass up this program!

well if you were going to listen to one book on mind mapping, this wouldn't be a bad choice

This e-book is great to read and to apply as I am an In-House Trainer I always looking for all the update ideas to improve my students & colleagues. The e-book has many ideas to inspire your mind and drives you to try to apply in your work activities. I recommend it to everyone who is trying to think about a new idea to teach to review the book or the PDF with the audible one so he/she can find an inspiration technique to apply.

liked the sections discussing mind map cousins like flow charts, concept, and cognitive maps

as new to mind mapping, well needed overview of fundamentals, foundational elements, enough illustrations and examples needed to understand the technique

Haven't gone through all of it but the chapters I've gone through are good, the illustrations and examples make it easy to understand the lessons.
