How to Mind Map (Tony Buzan)

"It covers mind mapping briefly. It could have been even more brief, but for the rather outlandish claims of its author. Tony Buzan is given to a lot of exaggeration. Shorn of the inflated claims, the book could well have been a small and effective booklet. The subject of the book is worthy of learning and usage. Mind mapping offers a very easy technique that requires little more than color pens and paper (though rather expensive software is also available). 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 ""grok"" the entire picture all at once. A practical pocket guide that teaches you how to mind-map with ease. This innovative method has enabled students to retain and recall information easily and improve their grades, and allowed business brains to work more efficiently and improve their performance at work."
