Must read for everyone, who would love to use hidden creativity inside for producing art, poetry, music and multi-facet success in life via effective use of multiple intelligence combined with mind-maps. It's an exhaustive yet simple (hint: treasure of colourful and attractive mind maps) handbook with practical examples/assignments inside. If you want only one book to read in 2020, make it this one.
P.S. - Pick, consume and do what interests you in this book, and skim/speed-read else fast (don't worry backup mind maps are there always). Since I read/experimented with mind-maps of Tony Buzan since long, I speed read it.

Revive your creativity
The book presents a lot of practical approaches to enhance or revive creativity. Some of the approaches were unique and I had not been exposed to before.
I would suggest this book for anyone who is looking for a deeper understanding of the creative process and see some good examples of mind maps.
If you desire a deeper understanding of the mind mapping process then it might leave you dry. However, it overcompensates in terms of elaboration of the creative process.
Good for parents who would like to inspire their kids into mind mapping.

A Very useful book for planning and staying ahead of everyone else around you.
My teacher, Mr.Nodens almost always keep me wondering of how he planned what he planned to do stuff with all the whole school work. They're pretty difficult to manage with all the manpower around him and I am just proud to witness such a miracle happened and to be part of it but what still bothering me is that he is verbally intelligence and it can be trained but I don't know how and this book showed me the way to do it. To be skill just like Nodens once did in every meeting we have.

Disappointing
Totally disappointed.
Book written by an authority on mind power, with title being “Mind Map Handbook” yet most of the book is about use of words, verbal intelligence, body language and everything else but mind power methods.
The book is so “not flowing” and “disjointed “ with subjects that I had to check few times whether I am still reading the same book.
What a waste of time.

The first chapter where he tells you how to craft mind maps and shows you some examples of their utility are the only chapters relevant here. There were a couple other interesting notes litered about but quite frankly I'm still confused why this book was more than 50 pages... Like very confused. I read enough and it was useful. Can't see myself reading any more than the 100 pages I read. The book is 400 pages yall... Why?

I did a mind mapping course when I was in my teens. When I found this book, I expected only to find a book on how to mind map.
Instead, I found a book on how to use one's mind in a fascinating way. I will be reading other books by the author, and clearly, I will have to read this book again to fully appreciate it (considering I did not quite expect what I found). Stunning approach and book!!

I found the actual "mind mapping" part of the book interesting and helpful. I skipped the rest of it because it was about general vocabulary and language skills, which wasn't what I was looking for.

Not only about Mind Map in practice. But also the background information about the brain, creative thinking and how to increase creativity :)

One star to help keep others from wasting their time on this. The first part of the book is akin to advertising for a great product - Mind Mapping! (Note the exclamation mark. The author really likes these.) And then the book turns into a vocabulary-building text with exercises which has just about nothing to do with mind-mapping. In the end lot's of important things are given as the basis for good (mind) mapping - like using lots of colors, curved lines vs straight, pictures, doodle, etc. And... oh, wait a minute, having done a lot of this in the past I guess I would say those are really all that important. Yeah, one star about sums it up.
I have one other text by this author to try. We shall see if it does better.

A book that gives you the basic concept of mind mapping and introduce the idea of verbal & creative intelligence. Mind map, is a helpful tool for summarizing and organizing things. And as all tools do, it is not meant for every one and for every thing. I see that Mind map is very helpful for drawing the big picture in your mind. But if you look at an old-drawn mind map, you will be surprised to find it difficult to understand and difficult to read. Even some of the ones Tony Buzan have drawn through the book are sometimes not easy to understand at first glance, and may take a little bit of time to get them. Overall, it is a new great organizing tool which is helpful for some occasions.

Mind mapping is an interesting and useful tool, but this book doesn't do it justice. It reads like an infomercial, with more exclamation marks than I've ever encountered in a single book. It's also tediously repetitive; the same points are made over and over and over again.
The writing style ultimately grated on my nerves to the point that I gave up on it, though I do plan to incorporate mind maps into my work.

Difficult book to classify. It combines 3 of Buzan's classic books How to Mind Map, The Power of Verbal Intelligence , and The Power of Creative Intelligence. Suzuki observed that birds learned to sing by imitation i.e. music is a learned skill. What limits our potential to learn is our thinking generally inherited messages from teachers, family, and friends.

The book was wonderful bozan concentrated alot on verbal intel & creativity
People who used it well & how to blance between left & right mind
The only thing i disliked is the exessive Use of Verbal power & ignor the full details of creativity
