Summary: A Poor Introduction to Mind Mapping
Comment: This is a book of vague suggestions on how one might use the author's unhelpful variation of -true- mind mapping in a variety of situations... including writing a book... but -real- mind mapping, as developed by Tony Buzan, was obviously not utilized when writing this particular book. The method the author advocates is actually more aligned to concept mapping rather than mind mapping.

Disregarding the dubious technique of using a large font to make a 'pamphlet' run to a 100+ page book, I was at a loss to find any sort of structure in this book... and it did nothing to enhance my knowledge of how the mind mapping method may be applied. The fact that the book only includes 5 concept maps and 1 diagram indicates that the author doesn't really understand about the visual impact of mind maps and how they may be used to clarify and summarize many aspects of a written work.

As someone who has been mind mapping for 15+ years, I strongly advise against purchasing this book. Joyce Wycoff's "Mindmapping" is a much better introduction to the method, with Tony & Barry Buzan's "The Mind Map Book" being the current definitive textbook on the method.
