The Secrets Behind Mind Mapping: Top Tier Tips On Idea Mapping That Can Help You Ace Any Task

by Wisdom University

From vivid images and cherished memories to immersive novels, graphics, and beyond — most of our thoughts, information, and experiences are stored in the brain as powerful visuals. And while much of our life experiences are also based on touch, smell, and taste, it is easy to understand how sight dominates our reality. In fact, a 2013 study by MIT neuroscientists found that we can process visual information at incredibly high speeds. Published in Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics , their team flashed a series of 6 to 12 images in the span of 13 and 80 milliseconds for their participants to view. The fact that we have the capability to correctly identify a dozen images within a fraction of a second goes to show the human brain’s power to find and register concepts. However, here’s the issue — while the brain has the remarkable capability to soak up visual concepts like a sponge, how would it convey what it sees? After all, we will still need to express this information verbally. But when we communicate, our words and visual information can clash, failing to deliver the same message. As a result, we have poor interactions, experience frequent misunderstandings, and end up frustrated. So how do you get the mindful brain to align with the verbal message you’re sending? Easy — you map it! Very similar to following a physical map, mind mapping lets the brain be guided by an internal pattern that helps organize scattered thoughts, experiences, and responses. With the right mind-mapping techniques on hand, everyone — from seasoned leaders to novice learners — can cleanse the brain chaos and create maximum focus, collaboration, & achievement! These trusted mind-mapping approaches will unleash creativity, strengthen productivity, and supercharge communication — with your inner voice and with others. Here’s just a fraction of what you’ll discover inside the and much, much more… Whether you need to take notes, create a plan, communicate ideas with others clearly, or simplify a concept, this book will help you swim above the ocean of thoughts and ideas inside your hectic mind. Get instant access to the best tips, exclusive tools, and real-life examples that make for efficient mind mapping. Revolutionize the way you communicate, cooperate, and think clearly. Learn to draw logical concepts and express yourself accordingly by applying the BEST mind-building patterns!

Pretty good clear explanation of mind maps though I didn’t find anything new here. A good reminder to use mind mapping rather than conventional notes.
A lot of detail on neurological function and anatomy which I skipped as I’ve never found it interesting, although to be fair it was being used as illustration of how to mind map a complex subject.

In depth but interesting

This book has a ton of interesting — if deep — information. You’ll learn all about the brain and how it works, psychology, physiology, and more before you get to the different types of mind maps. I found it interesting, but will admit I skimmed over some of it to get to what I really wanted to know - and I was not disappointed. The authors showed in-depth examples of different types of mind maps and how they can work for different scenarios. If you’re in a business, a company, an organization, etc. these can definitely work for you.
Recommended.

Very good, but needs more details

I would like more details on using each software package with examples.. I would use it for writing, infographics, social media posts, and planning out action plans and the logic of debates.

The World of Mind Mapping

I lean more towards inspirational reads than technical reads but I have enjoyed this book. Mind mapping is the key to the elite’s success.
